A friend brought me some redfish on the half shell, filleted redfish, filleted bass and some backstrap.
Most of the ingredients
made two pans of butter sauce - one pan had a stick of butter with just garlic, the other pan was a mojo sauce with butter, garlic, oregano, zest and juice of an orange, zest and juice of a lime, jalapeno slices, and some chopped green onion.
Basted the filets
Some romaine and cherry tomatoes with EVOO & Tony Chacheres
Grilling the romaine
Four pieces of sugar cane for smoke - lump just on front half of XL
Redfish - meat side down first
Three filets with the mojo butter sauce and lime slices
Two filets with just butter garlic
The two with just butter garlic get grated asiago, parmesean, and romano
Real good - would do both again but favorite was mojo butter sauce

Don - I actually like this one a little more. I use it as a dipping sauce for mojo marinated pork - I think you will like it
Mojo Dipping Sauce:
8 cloves garlic, chopped
2 serrano chiles, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Using a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic, serrano, cilantro and a few pinches of salt until it becomes a paste. Add the orange juice, lime juice and oil and stir to combine.

Re: Redfish on the half shell
Great looking stuff EH. I haven't done any redfish on the halfshell in awhile. Need to get some more. I'm hoping to get some spearfishing in soon though so maybe I can get some grouper or something for the egg.

Re: Redfish on the half shell
Spearfishing? Your filets will have holes in them
Unless of course you going for head shots
Good luck with it Kenny
