GRILLED FISH ON THE 'HALF SHELL'



Grilled Fish on the 'Half Shell' image

This recipe is designed for large fish, originally the redfish of the Gulf States. Any fish with heavy scales will work, however. In this case I am using a large yelloweye rockfish, but you could also use a California sheepshead, pargo, largemouth or smallmouth bass, grouper, snapper, a big black seabass... you get the point. The one vital thing you need is a piece of fish with the skin and scales left on. If you don't have that, you cannot make this recipe. The scales protect the fish from the high, direct heat of the grill. All you do is slap that puppy on the grill and watch the magic happen. It's super, super easy.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup kosher salt
4 cups water
2 cups crushed ice
2 to 3 pounds large fish fillets (with the skin and scales still on)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 to 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Mix the salt and water until the salt dissolves, then add the ice. Brine the fish for 1 hour. Remove, pat dry with paper towels and put on a rack in a cool, breezy place for 30 minutes. While you are doing this, get your grill nice and hot.
  • When you grill is ready, coat the fish with the vegetable oil, then sprinkle the meat side of the fish with the Cajun seasoning. Lay the fish on the grill with the fat side of the fillet over the hottest part of the fire, and the tail sections out toward the edge where the fire is a bit cooler. Let the fish grill undisturbed until the meat is fully cooked; it will just begin to flake when that happens. This can be done in an uncovered grill if it's a) not too windy, and b) the fillet is less than 2 inches thick. If you are worried about timing, cover the grill, or tent the fish with some heavy-duty foil.
  • When the fish is done, gently remove it with a large spatula, or two spatulas if you need to. Move it to a platter and dot the top of it with the butter. Serve when the butter melts alongside rice, potato salad, maque choux, etc.

GRILLED REDFISH ON THE HALF SHELL



Grilled Redfish on the Half Shell image

As a native Texan, I feel obligated to share an iconic seafood dish from the Gulf: grilled redfish on the half shell. Cooking on the half shell means keeping the skin and scales intact with the fillet. Doing so creates a barrier between the heat and the meat, which locks in moisture. The beauty of...

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds of redfish with skin on
Harissa paste (store bought or recipe below)
1 cup of plain kefir or greek yogurt
1-2 tbsp. oil
Harissa Paste
4 oz. of mixed dried chiles (2 oz each of guajillo and chile de arbol)
6 cloves of garlic, smashed
½ tsp. ground caraway seeds
½ tsp. ground coriander seeds
½ tsp. ground cumin seeds
2 tsp. white wine vinegar
2 tsp. fine grain salt
3 tbsp. olive oil

Steps:

  • Harissa Paste
  • Toast the chile pods and spices in a dry sauté pan over medium-high heat for 30 seconds on each side. Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chiles by cracking them open. Place the dried chiles in a large bowl and cover with boiling hot water. Cover the bowl and let the chilis soak for about 30 minutes to an hour to soften. Drain the water from the chilis and place into a food processor or blender.
  • Add the garlic, caraway, coriander, cumin, vinegar, salt and olive oil. Blend until you reach a smooth consistency.
  • This can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also freeze what you don't use.
  • Grilled Redfish
  • Preheat a grill at medium-high heat. If building a small fire, burn your wood down until it is nearly all coals. Use a grate set a foot or so above so it doesn't scorch the bottom of fish.
  • Rub a little oil over both sides of the fish, then brush the flesh side with a tablespoon of harissa paste per fillet. Reserve the rest of the paste for other applications.
  • Place the fillets directly on the grates, skin side down. Close the grill lid or cover with foil if using a fire. Cook for about 12-15 minutes or longer, depending on the thickness of your fish and the temperature of your heat source. If the skin blackens while the meat is still raw, then you're cooking too hot. Turn the heat down or raise the fish higher off the coals. The skin will be dark and crispy, and the meat should flake apart easily with a fork when done.
  • Add a dollop of harissa paste to a small bowl of kefir/yogurt and swirl to combine. Serve the grilled redfish with the harissa-yogurt dip.

REDFISH ON THE HALF-SHELL WITH LEMON-BUTTER LUMP CRABMEAT SAUCE



Redfish on the Half-Shell with Lemon-Butter Lump Crabmeat Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 redfish fillets, skin and scales remaining, fully boned
Bronzing, seafood or Cajun seasoning
Olive or any other cooking oil
Margarine, softened
Crabmeat Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for remaining shell pieces
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 small lemons, juiced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
2 teaspoons commercial bronzing, seafood or Cajun seasoning
1 cup whipping cream
4 tablespoons chopped green onion tops

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high.
  • Place the fish fillets flesh side down on a tray. Liberally brush the scales with oil to keep from sticking to the grill. Turn over and generously coat the fillets with dry seasoning and brush with margarine. Cook scale-side down until the flesh at the thickest part of fillet flakes easily with a fork. Cover grill for even heat and faster cooking. Do not turn fillets over, cook on scale side only--the skin and scales will make a shell that will keep the fish moist during cooking.
  • Remove fish from grill with a large spatula to avoid breaking fillets. Gently "scrape" meat from skin and put on plate. Top with Crabmeat Sauce.
  • Melt butter in saucepan over low-medium heat. Add lemon juice, garlic, wine, hot sauce, and seasoning. Slowly simmer for about 2 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until well mixed. Gently stir in the crabmeat being careful not to break it up. Simmer until the crabmeat is heated through. Spoon over fish fillets and garnish with chopped green onions.

REDFISH ON THE HALF SHELL

Do not scale the fish. The scales become the baking, (grilling?) dish. The amount of basting sauce is enough for a whole fish. Prep time includes marinating time. BTW, it is spelled redfish, but Zaar did not recognize it that way. Also, I had to guess at the size.
