No argument there...I've never tried it.

I call BS there, my friend. No way you've used pepper and squeeze of
fresh lemon and say that it's good. I've done that and it's not good at
all. The secret is to use plenty of lemon zest, not just the juice.

For grilling, though, I prefer to add it after. The high, dry heat of the
grill can scorch the pepper.

And the lemon-pepper seasoning has other stuff, too, like garlic
powder.

You don't do any *real* cooking... if a server brought me fresh
grilled fish covered with lemon zest I'd say to bill it to Gary, and
hope he chokes on it. Gary has cooking confused with baking, and
obviously he does neither. However I do like a curl of lemon zest in
my espresso, and in my double J&B-rocks. Citrus zest curls are also
excellent in compote
