Yes... The further South you get into Mississippi, Louisanna and Alabama
the more Creole seasonings come into play. Here,no one would include cayenne
and garlic powder. I am not a proffesional cook, however, I can at times do
a yoemans job. I do not know how to send portionional eqivalents, as I don't
know how many fish we will catch. Taste everything. Adjusting to your taste
always works on any regional/ethnic cuisine. Now let's all smell the
magnolia blossom,honeyscukle,semitropical humidity and aroma of our
youth,and first love. Whatever..:-)

Well, ok, but it sure does keep it moist and juicy! :-)
It's a wonderful way to cook fillet's. Hot and fast!

In fact, I think I'll drag a fillet out of the freezer right now and do
just that for lunch!

Tartar sauce? Just mix mayonnaise and pickle relish. Add "lemon
pepper" to taste. Season with tarragon and maybe 2 drops of tabasco
sauce. Add capers if you want to get fancy.

Thanks, Barb. I've never knowingly tried either Monkfish or Torsk. The
latter sounds pretty Scandinavian. Is it a regional name for Monkfish?

No Maam......I was born in Brooklyn NY, and raised in the South,went back to
NYC to make my mark as a professional musician. I traveled as a free lance
musician for 'way to many' years. I read to much,and when I got burnt out on
the business,I came 'home' to open a 'sleepy little' Piano Tuning Shop. I
have performed in all of the contiguous 48 states,as well as the Caribbean
Islands,a few European tours,and have eaten and respected the food in all
points between. I learned to ask where the 'working man' ate. The locals
will be very accommodating if approached properly. That's the
trick,'...good' food good people,and a feeling of place! Who would ask for
more. I will share what little I know with all interested! -:)

Around here,mix mayonnaise,pickle relish,lemon juice/zest,salt& pepper.
Sweet or sour relish can create more more front porch contention that we
wish to persue.

I think they only catfish around here live in the muddy Mississippi.
People are eating fish from that river again, but I ain't one of 'em!
Since I know no better, I'll just keep getting the fillets. Thanks for the
accompaniment suggestions, too.

No -- it's a Scandinavian thing. Norske. The Sons of Norway used to

Ever see a tilapia pond? I have. They thrive in less then ideal
conditions. The ponds are all over the place here and they have the
appearance of relatively stagnant farm ponds. BTW, Honduras is a
leading exporter of tilapia to the US.

Bear with me here please!

Wayne Boatwright's post will give excellent proportions numerically, the
rest is up to you.

I don't know where you live, but they got some BIG catfish in the muuddy
Miss. I think the record is around a ton in weight. Catch or buy fish to
your usage.

I love tarragon! Crash isn't fond of it, but he'll eat it in small
quantities, on rare occasions. He won't touch capers with a ten foot pole,
however. I like them, but the smell reminds me of a dentist's office.

Sounds like a plan. Boy, I never thought I'd get so many responses! I'm
going to have to run them all by Crash to see what he'd actually be willing
to eat. We're both picky eaters, but he's pickier than I am, so I let him
make the decisions.

I think that the Dixie style Shore Lunch has the corn meal and the masa
that are in Wayne's recipe. I think it also has onion and garlic powders.
We love it, and I'll try making it myself. Must be a lot less expensive
that way.

Thanks!

If the blue lights on the police cars were flashing, you may or may not have
found good place to eat. In all seriousness when I was on the road there
were from 20 to 100 musicians,dancers,etc involved. Some of these people
tried to carry their baggage with them,and would not accept new ideas. Some
of us would hail a cab and ask the driver where the "real" food was. There
were places that no one on this list would consider. Once Our driver
introduced us ,we had no difficulties at all if we kept out of local
affairs. Some red beans and rice in a New Orleans workingmans dive is a
highlight(we did not get beat up badly) :-) A diner somewhere between
Amarillo and Denver is another. At the second place,they had a chalkbord
menu, If you were a family you got all 3 meats, 5 vegetables,dessert,and
iced tea,served as a family should be. The juke box could make one love
Texas and not so pretty waitresses.
I could not make this up.

I only like capers when they are cooked. I have a killer picadillo
recipe that uses capers, pimento stuffed green olives, tomatoes, ground
beef and pork. I'll post it when I can get into the files where it is
stored.

Have you ever eaten anything prepared on a George Foreman grill, Jill?
It's obvious you haven't, otherwise you'd never have made the waffle
comment.
Don't knock it until you've tried it.

I think she just meant that it's misnamed. It's really a two-sided
griddle. Griddled fish or burgers or whatever are different from their
grilled counterparts.

Heh. Louisianna is a real trip! I've never been so scared in my life as
when dad decided to take the "back roads" home from New Orleans once. He
was driving a very nice Nissan Maxima.

We got more ugly looks from people at gas stations. There was a lot of
hostility, probably because it was a "poor" area. We stopped at one
diner for lunch that was full of roughnecks (oil field workers) and you
literally could have heard a pin drop when we walked in. We started to
order at the counter, then changed our minds and left! The hostility in
the air was so thick, you could have cut it with a knife!

Moral is, in Lousianna, stay on the main roads in the tourist areas. ;-p

I've _never_ run into anything like that in Texas!!! And I've been all
over the back roads here. It's always nice, and the food is always good!
Greasy, but good. <G>

Chalkboard menus are actually encouraging to me. :-)
Menus that change daily spell more fresh ingredients!

True, they are missing the smoked flavor, but they are SO much different
in flavor and texture when you use the foreman as opposed to the
skillet! :-)

Sheryl, have you done fish on your foreman? What toppings do you use?

Now there's a vote against living in Honduras ;)

I've seen catfish farms all over the south; they aren't cruddy mud ponds.
Sorry I haven't been to Florida or Honduras to check out the fish living
conditions. But then again, I eat blue crab and shrimp from inlets and
waterways in South Carolina and mudbugs from Louisiana.
