Blackened Grouper using Dizzy Pig's New Bayou-ish Blackening Seasoning
The catfish we did yesterday was good but was an inexpensive test. This one was expensive, coming in at just over $18. So it had to be good.
We weren't disappointed. Here's the photos.
It was a good dinner, for sure.
Thanks Dizzy Pig.

Oh my my! Looks very gooooood! I just was telling SWMBO we need to eat more fish off the Egg and cut back a little bit on our red meats. I'm going to try this for sure!My PitMaster IQ120 FREAKIN ROCKS!!!!!!! Current BGE arsenal: XL & MiniMax

Looks delicious! Well done sir. Blackened fish is by far in my top 3 favorite. I do Redfish atleast once a week. My secret, brush generously w/ melted unsalted butter before seasoning.68% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Thanks guys. This was a fun cook.
For those who are curious about it, I cooked this one on my Mini Egg using a Mini Woo, the grid and a cast iron griddle that fits the Mini Woo perfectly. Lodge makes them.

I'm sure you've seen them before. They are frequently used together with a wooden serving plate as shown in the photo to serve hot sizzling foods like fajitas and pan-fried steak. I think I paid like $4 for mine years ago in Academy. I haven't seen them there lately but if you live near a Lodge Outlet store, they have plenty of them.
It's not necessary but it sure is nice to have a surface temperature thermometer and a Thermopen. Both of these will quickly pay for themselves.
Rick... The door is always open, except when we're off at Eggfests. The next one is March 15th in Salado. Yes, I'll be there and wearing my kilt. You coming?

Nice @Spring_Chicken. Fish looks great. I just found some Bayou-ish in my mailbox yesterday. How hot were you running your MIni? And do you have any butter on the skillet or do you dunk you fish in butter before applying the rub and then cooking? I'm going to rty it out tomroow for sure.

Hi Jason. As you can see in the photos, I had the cast iron pan at 798.9° by the time I was ready with the fish. I suppose I could have done it differently but I put a chunk of butter in the pan and waited about 2 seconds for it to melt, then laid in the fish with the seasoned side down. Then I seasoned the top side.
I flipped it at 45 seconds. Then 45 seconds later I flipped again. This time I Thermopen'ed it and found the outer edges to be about 130° to 140° but the thick inside was only about 75°. So I shut both vents and let it bake for abut 3 minutes, checking it twice with the Thermopen. I wanted 140° internal, which would be done enough for us while still leaving some moisture in the center.
Of course, the outer edges continued to cook and got up to an average of 160-175° range.
Actually, the outer edges had a more intense flavor than the inside which was rather mild by comparison. But it was all delicious.
Neither the Thermopen or the Infrared Thermometer are necessary for this cook but they sure take the guesswork out of anything related to temperature. I highly recommend having and using both. Without the Thermometer I would have had to return to cook the fish more if I had visually decided it was done enough.
As I posted above, the cast iron pan is available through Lodge and the Mini Woo is available through Ceramic Grill Store. But I think you already have both if memory serves me.
Try it soon. You'll like it.

I don't have an infared thermometer unless I "borrow" one from work. So no idea on what kind of dome temp you were running? I'll probably do mine on the large instead of the mini as I'm sure I'll be doing more than one fillet. Cool video. Looks like that pan was screaming hot!
