Does anyone have a good sheephead recipe? What is the best way to cook them.

Thanks in advance.

Its a very mild white fish- anything you would do with grouper or flounder will work- depending on the size.
I enjoy baking them whole wrapped in foil with old bay, lemon and butter.
The fillets are also great broiled, fried or grilled!

Fantastic fish!!!

I don't know any bad ones! Awesome meat flesh and flavor! What a pain to clean. Don't keep no babies not enough meat to be worth cleaning.

However, if you do want to keep some smaller fish I recommend doing them up like a Bream. You gut, scale, remove head and then make slits on the sides of the fish. Heat up the grease and deep fry!!! Oh so good!! Served up best with a cold Natty light. Can preferably.

add crab boil to water and cook then dip in a butter sauce. great flavor just don,tt overcook

Peng told me to wrap in thin bacon and grill so I listened to the sensia and it was gone before it could hit the cutting board, my youngest likes sheeps and loved this method!

I tried them fried and baked with bman's suggestion of old bay, lemon and butter. The fried were good, but the baked ones were almost all gone before I could get to them. Needless to say, the wife loved them the baked way. Thanks for the suggestions. Both were great.
