WHOLE GRILLED BLUEFISH

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Dress fish with oil, and lemon and lime juices. Season with pepper and salt. Be sure to rub all ingredients throughout fish and inside cavity. Stuff inside of fish with lemon wedges.

CRISPY PAN FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Use scrunched up paper towels to pat the fish dry on both sides. This is especially important if you are using thawed frozen fish.
• Season the fish well on both sides with salt and pepper (key!).
• Mix the flour and paprika on a plate.
• Coat fish on both sides with flour, pressing down firmly so it adheres, but shake well to remove excess. (Note 2)
• Heat a heavy based skillet (normal or non stick) over medium high heat until you see wisps of smoke. Add oil and swirl to coat the pan - it will heat within seconds.
• Add fish - it should sizzle straight away. Shake the pan lightly to move the fish. Cook for 2 minutes until golden and crisp, pressing down gently, then flip. Cook the other side for 2 minutes until crisp then remove.
• If it's browning too quickly, just remove pan from the stove briefly. If it's stuck, don't move - it will release naturally once golden.
• Serve fish immediately with lemon wedges and garnished with dill or parsley, if using. It starts to lose crispiness after 5 minutes.

PAN FRIED BLUEFISH RECIPE

Steps:

• Lightly rinse fish fillets and place on paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Setup your dredging station with flour, milk, cornmeal, each in separate containers.
• Dredge each fillet, one at a time, through the flour, coating both sides well.
• Dip into milk, coating both sides, place fillets side by side on a plate.
• Sprinkle fillets lightly with seasonings, Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Cayenne Pepper, Paprika.
• Dredge fillets, one at a time, through the cornmeal, coating both sides.
• Place coated fillets, side by side on a plate and let rest for about 5 minutes.
• Add about 1/2 inch to a skillet placed over medium to medium-high heat.
• Test oil for proper frying temperature by sprinkling a pinch of cornmeal into the oil. If it sinks to the bottom, oil is not hot enough. If the cornmeal "dances" across the top, oil is ready. If using a thermometer, oil should be at about 350º or slightly higher.
• Carefully add fillets, one at a time, into the hot oil. It's hot and may splatter so use caution.
• Add other fillets into the pan, one at a time but do not crowd the pan. They need room to cook.
• Cook fillets for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom edges begin to slightly brown.
• Carefully turn each fillet and let cook another 1-2 minutes until done.
• Remove fillets from hot oil, place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Serve hot and enjoy!
