Redfish On The Half Shell
This recipe came from a guide in south Louisiana so he prepared it with redfish, but it’ll work with any type of fish that has thick scales. You’ll want to start with filleting your fish and leaving both the skin and scales intact.
In a sauce pan combine a ½ stick of butter, 2 cups of Italian dressing, 1 cup of thousand island dressing, ½ bottle of tiger sauce, a bit of cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon of garlic salt, and a few tablespoons of lemon juice. Pour the other half of bottle of tiger sauce on the fillets after you carefully pat them dry with a paper towel.
Get the grill nice and hot, place the fillets skin side down, and cover with Italian bread crumbs. Give it a minute or two and then spoon the mixture from the sauce pan over each filet. Let it cook until the fillets look done, it will vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
