JEAN'S REDFISH FILETS

Recipe by Grey Duck

Personal Notes: Here are a few of tricks I picked up from the Indians in Brazil, where I fish each year.
     Big reds were considered trash fish not too many years ago. Then I learned to cut filets about 1st in. from the scales and to remove all red meat from the filets. This way, even bull reds and large drum fish will melt in your mouth. Now cut into the filets about halfway through in grooves about 1/4 in. apart. This lets the seasoning penetrate more rapidly and thoroughly.
     With my filets and Jean at the range, you'd think you died and went to heaven.
