I've got a bag of specs left over from June I'm thawing out. I won't be able to fry them tomorrow night will have to grill them possibly put em in a pan. Any secrets besides butter/olive oil and Tony Chacheries.. All help appreciated.

pan saute' in a thin layer of canola oil...5 mins. at the most on each side on a med. heat...i use a half & half mixture of flour and meal along with a little onion and garlic powder and maybe a pinch of old bay...

in another pan, take slivered raw almonds and roast and squeeze a little lemon and diced capers...my version of trout almondine...remove trout and top with almond mixture

serve with garlic mashed potatoes, baby green lettuce salad...

also google a trout almondine recipe...i haven't done this in a while...good luck and enjoy...

Speck salad

Speck Salad - Put some water on the stove with some crab boil in it. Get it boiling good. Toss a couple of filets in at a time and boil until they get real white and are floating on top. Dry them off on a paper towel. Crumble the meat up and then mix it with mayo, eggs, seasoned salt & pepper and a little pickle relish...just like you would do tuna fish salad. Very tasty.

Can't say specks are my favorite, but did a speck chowder last night that was REALLY GOOD! Sauteed veggies (onion, pepper, garlic, jalapino), spice to taste, add cubed fillets a few minutes before veggies are done. Add a can of cream of celery (chix or mushroom work too) soup, can of milk, and a healthy splash of white wine. Let simmer until everything is done. Serve in a bowl, topped with parm and chopped scallion and enjoy! We top w/crumbled saltines as well. Nice on a chilly night! I finished it off for lunch! Easy one pot tasty meal!

Broiled Grouper Parmesan

Found this recipe last Sunday and it is killer, modified slightly.

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds fresh grouper fillets
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce (e.g. Louisiana hot sauce)
  • salt and pepper to taste (substitute with Creole seasoning for extra spicey)
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven's broiler.
  2. Place the grouper fillets on a greased baking tray. Brush them with lemon juice. In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Broil the fillets for 4 to 6 minutes, until they can be flaked with a fork. Remove from the oven and spread the cheese mixture on top of fillets.
  4. Return to the broiler for an additional 30 seconds, or until the topping is browned and bubbly

easy and quick

Rinse filets and pat dry. Lightly sprinkle Tony Cacheree on each side. Dredge in flour and shake off excess. In a frying pan mix 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 butter and bring to frying temp. Saute all filets, remove and keep warm. Add Marsala wine (about 1/2 cup depending on the butter/olive oil amount) and reduce (about 3-5 mins). Add capers to taste. Plate with you favorite sides and spoon marsala reduction over filets.
