I have never fished Buzzards Bay before, taking my 10 year-old out this weekend to target black sea bass, really looking forward to it.

Got any killer recipes to share? I usually just bake the fillets with some melted butter and breadcrumbs, which is plenty good enough when fresh. Might try to make some blackened fish sandwiches too. I'll also save a few carcasses to make fish stock.

Thanks in advance. Can't wait.

Fillet, dip in flour, then milk, then 3/4 breadcrumbs and 1/4 fine grated parmesan cheese. Sauté in butter and olive oil. Serve with lemon. Perfect.

Just had some, just so yummie. I put on a small plate enough panko to cover the filets and then I liberally sprinkle a lot of chef Paul's blackened redfish magic on top and the mix it well with a fork. For three filets I beat an egg, roll the filets in the egg and press them down firmly into the panko to cover both sides. I put Canola oil in a skillet on my grille side burner and cover it with a metal cover to heat it up quickly and hot. Dependly on thickness, it's probably no more than a minute or two per side.

Which came first the panko or the egg?

Any good fish recipe is good for BSB. Nice flaky mild fish.

You have a fresh grill size fish. We've discussed this before.

(1) truly nice to see you here.
(2) Yes we have, but I am terrified at trying to grill a whole fish for some reason. If we get a few I will try it.

Oil the grill so the skin doesn't stick. Cook it longer than you think...it's on the bone so it won't dry out unless you really kill it.

I believe you said that's your favorite way to eat sea bass? Do you cook at a high heat for a short time, or a lower heat for longer? You throw the whole thing on, you don't clean it at all?

Here is how I do it. First make up a mixture of about 50% EVOO and Lemon Juice, with some garlic (powder or granulated) to taste. I have one of those fish holders designed for the grill.

Gut and scale the sea bass and stuff the body cavity with some fresh herbs and a lemon wedge.

Before you put the fish on the grill baste it on both sides with the oil/lemon mix. Cook it on high heat, for about 1 minute a side, before taking it off and basting it again. Keep cooking it in 1 minute increments and basting, until done.

Call me a P(*$$y... I get kinda creeped out eating a fish whole.
