I like to put cobia or grouper in a rack like H&M,
but then I swab mayo mixed with garlic and seasoning all over it.
Learned that in the keys.

Mixed olive oil, lots of worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic, with some pepper tossed in. Diced onions also go into the mix.

It's still fish, but looks kinda like steak due to the w. sauce, and a big platter of grilled redfish empties out in no time after track practice.
. Sounds good

But, if you can get the grill hot enough, you can't do much better than blackening with a good rub.
. Mmmm

Scale and gut the fish, leave the head on and don't fillet.

In a skillet, sautee some onion, bell pepper (green and red), celery, scallions, and garlic in some butter or olive oil. Once they start to brown, take them and stuff the gut cavity of the fish. You can sew up the cavity with some kitchen twine, but it is not necessary if you are careful not to spill the veggies when you handle the fish,

Place the fish on a greased grill, and cook until done, flipping every now and then.

The skin holds all the moisture in, and the veggies will infuse their flavor throughout the fish. I've done this with trout and black sea bass.

Love blackened redfish on the grill and often cook cobia the exact same way (blackened in very hot cast iron skillet heated on the grill at highest setting).

Just keeping it real, I hated eating fish as a kid (though ALWAYS have loved FISHING) and still don't like what I believe to be "fishier" tasting fish that are oily or have darker flesh.

Not surprisingly, I love whiter fleshed fish with flounder my favorite, and with redfish and cobia on my favorite list as well. That shared, sharks and king macks I've grilled did NOT taste that fishy to me! Shark is tighter grained meat and holds together REALLY well on the grill. One caveat on the shark and king macks not tasting too fishy is that I soak them in milk overnight before cooking. Also trim visible bloodlines off all the fish I cook. While the king macks tasted good to me hot off the grill, leftovers from the very same cooked cuts tasted considerably more "fishy" to me when re-warmed the day after being cooked. Try to make sure I cook just enough so I don't have leftovers now. :thumbup: :beer: :lick:

Redfish on the half shell with a liberal coating of basil pesto before hitting the charcoal grill is tough to beat at my house.

. Half shell meaning skin and scales on?

Redfish on the half shell is great....and yup, just fillet the fish with skin and scales on....

I've used Cajun seasoning and spices and lemon slices laid across the meat

On redfish, I've also used fresh figs sliced and placed across the meat with lightly cooked sliced onions and salt and pepper and then just a dash of orange juice instead of lemon juice

On striper and salmon I like to use an herb crust that I make of cilantro, thyme, shallots, lemon zest, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, then a little salt and pepper

You can't go wrong with butter and Mrs. Dash and lemon juice either

I'm not a big fan of reheated fish (mainly because of the fishiness it gets in smell and taste) for leftovers and the recipes I've described above are actually pretty good the next day as cold fish.

Brush the fillet with olive oil, sprinkle on a mixture of brown sugar & Old Bay seasoning.
