    To,[p]Forget the cedar. Cedar makes good pirogue's but not good redfish. Look and find some Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning. Specifically made for blackening. Get about 1/4 cup melted butter and brush the filets with it. Then coat the filets with the seasoning. Coat them well. Fire up that egg to nuke temps add a cast iron skillet during heat up. When that skillet gets good and hot. I'm talkin hot hot, drop of water gone in like 5 seconds hot. Put those filets in and stand back. It will smoke like crazy. Flip after 2 min. and do the other side for two min. You could do it this way or just follow the link. [p]

    Tommy,[p]I second that nomination. But just don't ever try this on your inside stovetop unless you have a jet engine as an exhaust fan.

    RastaEGG,
    No unfortunately I did not, a neighbor of mine did and he says he is going to drag me with him the next time he goes and I'll damn sure cook him up some if he does.
    The last fishing trip I had in Louisiana was for tuna, great time, good catch, need to do it again just can't afford it.
    I have a brother in Gretna, I'll have to pay him a visit and see what we can scare up.
    Been trying to convince him to buy an egg so we can do it up right when I visit, if he'll buy one I swear I'll go see him more often. That's probably what he is afraid of.

    Mike in Abita,[p]You got it down pat Mike. That's the way I cook em all the time. Definetly outside. Tried a few blackened seasoning recipes off the internet but always go back to Paul Prudhomme (sp) Caught 3 reds today along with 31 specks, and 1 puppy drum. Geaux Tigers.
