Blackened Redfish

Caught and cooked up some "blackened redfish", baked potatoes and corn. Used a different blackening seasoning, that was a little on the spicy side, but a great meal!! Got the potatoes going early, then the corn about thirty minutes later, then the fish. All direct at 450 degrees..

Outstnading @Charlie_tuna. Bet it tasted even better since you caught it. What was in the blackening seasoning?

I used a new one (for me) called "Louisiana Cajun Blackening Seasoning". Melted some butter and let it cool well. Dip the very cold fillets in the butter, then season with the blackening seasoning(lightly). Served with fresh lemon quarters. I was a little suprised that i didn't get MORE smoke off the cast iron at 450 degrees. Not much smoke?? This is the first time i've blackened anything "knowing" the temperature, so i guess on my earlier cooks, it must have been twice as hot??? But i like this seasoning, it has some good bite - but it doesn't last long..

I love blackened redfish. However, Texas law forbids selling wild caught redfish. It's a game fish only. I'm not sure what other fish would work as well.The last time I cooked it (years ago), I used Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Seafood Magic. It was great, as I recall.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

I think any lean, or light tasting fish will blacken, i have used snapper, snook and permit. I am not considering tuna steaks, but that might come out fishy tasting??? I normally use Prudhomme's too, but this Louisiana Seasoning is stronger and seems to stay on the flesh, kind of melts into the butter.

Awesome. Man I miss those trips when I still lived back home. I'm too far from the coast now to make a one day trip. Nothing like a redfish on bass tackle trying to rip your arm off. We used to catch them on topwater in a lake south of Thibodeaux, LA. Where are you located?
That Paul Prudhomme's blackening seasoning is top notch.

We cook redfish all the time. A favorite way is "on the half shell". You basically keep the skin and scales on, season with rub, butter and lemon and cook skin side down. Super easy (redfish are not fun to clean). Don't even have to flip. I need to try blackened for sure.

Looks great! What kind of blackened seasoning is everyone's favorit?

I've only eaten redfish a few times, never cooked it myself. Right now I want to go fishing with you, to ride along as a taster!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I cook blackened redfish all the time. Another fish that blackens real well is catfish.

I haven't tried it yet, but Talapia is supposed to be great blackened -- but i'm soon to find out! The wife made a wrap out of the leftover, i mean "makeover" blackened redfish for lunch -- i'm sold on that !! FOR SURE !!
