Life is good live it while you can.

I agree, fresh, fried specks are near the top of my list. However, 18" redfish half-shelled on the grill are pretty darn good.

That`s a fact Jack !! We use Zatarains blackening seasoning on Shrimp,Red Fish, Red Snapper Grouper, Mahi, Chicken and Pork Chops. On the fish we brush on melted butter then the Zatarains and put it on a hot grill ( griddle ). https://www.walmart.com/ip/Zatarain...WL9YQ6RfFoaAu-5EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Last edited by 35; 10/29/21.

Disagree on the trout part. And I've cooked and ate a schit ton of them. Lot of water in trout filets. I'll bet that flounder and bigger red that 35 caught will cook up nicely.
