So I take it the fish you call Red Fish are not like the local ones we get here http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/science/publications/article/2009/08-10-09-eng.html .
The ones here taste almost like Atlantic Salmon with the same colour, but a lot smaller.

I think redfish "en papillote" sounds great. I'll grab some shallots today when I go to the store after church. Bob caught a redfish yesterday.

It does... a little

Enjoy

boo boo... the redfish Yooper is talking about is also known as Red Drum, and they are delicious!

I didn't take a picture of the last redfish we caught (forgot) but here is what a "speckled trout" or "spotted sea trout" looks like (this is from today):

I was going to make grilled fish with a tequila/lime/habanero sauce, but we got invited over to a neighbor's for chicken fried steak and fried okra. We can't turn that down!

Last night I did the tequila/lime/habanero marinade and sauce. Here's the basic recipe:

Juice of two large limes
two habaneros, seeded
two cloves of garlic
About 4 ounces of tequila
chopped cilantro
Tiny shot of triple sec
pinch of sea salt

Pureed in a blender then the fish fillets were placed in the blender.

After the fillets went on a hot grill, I boiled the marinade to thicken it and use as a sauce.

This was excellent! But I have to admit it was pretty hot. It tasted great, but Bob mentioned that I looked like I was blushing- even my ears got warm! Since I love hot spicy food, I thought it was great and Bob gave it an A+. But it might have killed a lesser mortal.

sounds amazing!!! But to be clear, the fillets were not blended right? Just placed in the blender. How long did you marinate? I add cilantro to just about anything, I bet it tasted really fresh and bright.

Right- the filets were left whole. I marinaded it for most of the day, and then drained it off and boiled the marinade while the fish was on the grill.

No more fishing pictures unless you are standing on ice. It's 35 degrees and raining in NY and I'm starting to get real jealous

**Homercidal** · 02-17-2012, 01:42 PM

So jealous. We've had a pretty mild winter to say the least, so far, but I'd LOVE to be down there fishing and kayaking!

Maybe I'll buy a fish from the store and marinade it and pretend I'm in Texas.

My neighbors parents live in the Galveston area, they visit a couple times a year. This always triggers a neighborhood driveway fish fry. I had never had spotted trout until a couple of years ago, it is now at the top of my list of salt water fair.
