Red Fish On The Half Shell
- 1, 7 pounds Red Fish, filleted in two halves, skin and scales intact
- 1-2 Lemons, thinly sliced and seeds removed
- 2 Shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Your favorite seasoing mix (I prefer Old bay)
- 1\ cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Parsley, roughly chopped
- Pam cooking spray, enough to heavily cover the fish skin, scales
- Prepare your grill to medium high heat.
- Pat your filets until completely dry ad spray the Pam on the skin side. Note, heavily coat the skin to avoid sticking to the grill.
- Place on the grill, skin side down. You will not flip the fish at all!
- While on the grill cover the flesh side with first the seasonings, then the shallots and ten the lemon slices. Close the grill for 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, melt the butter and chop the parsley.
- After 20 minutes, check the fish for doneness by lifting the lid and piercing a fork in the thickest part of the fish. It should give little resistance and flake away. If it is not done, close the lid and continue cooking in 3 minute increments.
- When done remove the fish from the grill and place on platter. (Ifrnyou want to remove the skin, carefully do so with a fish spatula at this point, but it is not necessary. Obviously, the skin is not eaten).
- Baste cooked fish with melted butter and garnish with parsley.
