- Comments: Paul Prudhomme, the legendary New Orleans chef, is generally credited with bringing blackened fish to the American culinary forefront.
- Although not as popular now as a when first introduced, blackened food is still a crowd pleaser.
- The secret is to use an extremely warm skillet, preferably well-seasoned cast-iron and to cook the fish outdoors.
- Blackening, when done properly, cause a great deal of smoke and may set off your smoke alarm.
- If you have a high BTU portable burner, set it outside, fire it up and heat the cast-iron skillet till it is warm, really warm.
- Use hard fish fillets with a medium to high oil content.
- Salmon and snapper work very well.
