    Blackened Mahi Mahi. Get egg and cast iron pan to 500+ degrees. Dip filet in melted butter then cover with "blackening" spice mix (I just buy whatever is available). Throw it on the cast iron for 1 minute per side or so.

    This works with shark, halibut, and redfish for sure. If the filet is more than about 3/4" thick it will need to cook longer.

  • I've only cooked one fish so far in my career... salmon with Old Bay black seasoning on an extra thick BGE cedar plank.
  • For me the best fish I ever Egged was a Brown Shark I maranider the straks in white wine garlic lemon juice set the egg for about 500 with cast iron grill then egged about 4 to 5 mins a side it was a big hit !!

    Good lord that looks good. Recipe?

    Ingredients:

    2 cups Water

    4 tablespoons Aka-miso, divided

    4 large Shiitaki mushrooms, stemmed, thinly sliced

    3 Green onions , dark and pale, thinly sliced: white part minced

    4 tablespoons Vegetable oil, divided

    1 tablespoon Ginger, fresh, minced  

    2 6 oz.   Skinless red snapper filets (or any white fish)

    1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs

    Cilantro, chopped


    Directions:

    1. Whisk 2 cups water and 2 tablespoons red miso in medium saucepan. Add shiitake mushrooms and simmer over medium heat until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in dark and pale green onion tops. Cover to keep warm and set aside.

    2. Meanwhile, mix 2 tablespoons red miso, minced white part of green onion, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and minced fresh ginger in small bowl. Sprinkle snapper fillets with salt and pepper. Spread ginger mixture over 1 side of snapper fillets, pressing to adhere. Sprinkle panko over coated side of fillets; press to adhere.

    4. Preheat Egg to 300-350, direct.

    3. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in medium nonstick (or CI) skillet. Add fillets to skillet, coated side down, and sauté until brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn fillets over and sauté until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Divide shiitake mushroom broth and shiitake mushrooms between 2 shallow bowls. Place 1 fish fillet in center of each bowl. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over and serve.

    At the store now and they have beautiful redfish. Might be going this way with Chef Paul's Blackened Redfish Magic.

  • Has anyone done whole fish direct on the egg?  I would be interested in some whole fish preparations.

    Great thread. I've made some decent salmon the egg, but nothing that's knocked my socks as far as fish goes. Thanks for the recipes!

    Has anyone ever done any walleye in parchment paper with good results? I catch a lot of walleye around here and have never cooked it on the egg. Best fish I ever had was in Devils Lake ND at Woodland Resort. It was wrapped in parchment paper.

    Another option is Snapper Ponchartrain.  This sauce is so good it's worth Mickey dying for.  Grill the snapper on the Egg, then put the sauce on top.

    image

    Ingredients:

    1 tablespoon Seafood Magic, or blackened seasoning

    4 tablespoons Butter, room temperature

    1/2 cup Mushrooms, sliced

    1/4 cup Wine, dry white

    1 cup Cream, heavy

    1/2 cup Shrimp, or more (or crab)

    1/4 cup Parsley, chopped

    1 bunch Scallions

    1 clove  Garlic, finely chopped

    4 tablespoons Butter


    Directions:

    Heat a skillet and add 1 tablespoon of Seafood Magic (or blackened seasoning). Add 4 tablespoons of room temperature butter (remove skillet from direct heat to keep butter from burning) and melt. Return to skillet to medium heat, Add 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms and brown. Add 1/4 Cup of dry or semi sweet white wine to deglaze pan. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and reduce until thick. Add 1/2 cup (or more) of medium shrimp (or if you have larger shrimp, dice them in 3 pieces), 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 1 bunch of scallions (with tops) and cook until shrimp are pink. When shrimp are cooked, add 1 clove of finely chopped garlic and whisk in 4 tablespoons of room temperature butter. Let simmer (but don't let butter separate) for a couple of minutes. Spoon over fish (and, it ain't bad over the rice, either).

    VI - I think I need to have a separate Evernote notebook for your recipes.

    @fishlessman - I'm about to pass out from goodness overload! Beautiful cooks (and presentation).
