I need help,lookin for a Cobia recipe!!

[kidconshy]

My dad was just in Florida and landed a few big cobia.He brought back a couple bags of filets and wants to cook em up,but I have never had it before or have cooked it before.

Id like to know whats a good way to prepare this fish.Is it good on the grill or better some other way.Please feel free to post any suggestions,Thanks Anthony

To me they lean in taste toward lobster. Fry in butter and dip in butter... Broiled is also over the top good... He's one of the lucky few. Almost all hooked the last few days were taken by sharks...

Paul thanks for the tip .Now I cant wait to have some if its like you say!!

He got 3 between 20-40lbs out of Jupiter

A agree with Paul. Cobia have such a delicate-- almost bettery hint of taste, I'm not crazy about them grilled.---- still good, just hides some of the delicate flavor IMO. Personally, my favorite way is broiled fisnied with butter and perhaps a spalsh of semi-sweet wine.

Well I took 2 filets cut them up into cubes the size of scallops and seasoned them with salt pepper and some garlic powder and fried them in a pan with some butter.Then grilled 2 more filets rubed with a little olive oil and some seasonings.They were both great, now I will have to try it broiled,since we still have about 8 more filets left

Keep the ideas coming Id like to try something else

I'd like to know how he tiptoed past me and got out of the state without the mandatory Deep Surcharge of one fillet for strictly scientific testing...

You know I told him about you, but I told him you were workin on the Deep this past week so he went with his regular guide Capt. Charlie in Jupiter.Maybe next year we can ride on the Deep and do some killin then you can get a couple filetsHe gos every year at the end of March and maybe Ill come down with him next year.We still have to kill a mako together dont forget

Spread melted butter, salt and pepper on them and grill. Very easy.

This is simple and quite tasty...
6 fish filets (cobia in this case)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 lrg white onion
1 bunch green onions
1 cup chopped parsley
1 1/2 cup white wine
2 lemons
Flour, salt, pepper, oil
Season and flour fillets well. Pan fry fillets until lightly brown, not well done. Remove from pan and set aside on paper towels. Remove oil from frying pan and saute all chopped seasonings and garlic in butter until tender. Add wine and stir well for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add fish fillets to sauce. Let simmer until all fillets are cooked. Sprinkle with lemon juice before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.
