Whats an easy way to cook sheephead?

Half shell on the grill or fried..I love it on the halfshell..I cut slits in the fillets and squeeze lemon..A little worchestire and whatever seasoning you like..When its cooking throw some basil and butter on it..

Put on cedar plank and grill for 20 mins. While cooking add some lemon juice, and butter every 5 -7 mins. After cooking throw fish away and eat cedar plank! That's the best way I have found to eat it cause it ain't any good to me!

Good, leaves more for me. Sheepie make a damn fine meal. Fillet em out and cook them like you would anything else. Great as just filets on the grill, pan fried, in fish tacos, chunks for coast chowder...Sky is the limit....

Damn, are you looking to remove all doubt? Someone make this man a nice sheepie meal! Seriously, I like it fried best, but I like most any fish that way.



On a side note, in your quote, it should read than, not then.

you just aint never had it cooked good cause i love some sheepies!!!

filet em, cut all the red meat off, let em sit in some half and half for about a half hour. take em out, salt and pepper them, then batter them in flour and fry!!!! next, take some french bread and cut in half and butter, put in the oven on 350 for a few mins until its a lil crispy. put some tartar, american cheese and lettuce on the bread and add the fried sheepie to make one hell of a PoBoy!!!

An old cajun friend told me that he would place a whole (I guess gutted) sheepie in a pillow case and boil it in seafood seasoning. He said it tasted a lot like lobster when you dip it in butter? Not sure if he scaled the fish before boiling it?
