Tilefish

[Bay Fishin]

How do you guys prepare and cook your tilefish?

[clean]

We caught a couple hundred pounds yesterday. Fried some up last night. Tonight, I seared some in a pan with olive oil and blackening spices, and made fish tacos with an asian style slaw. If you want recipes, let me know.

For the record i think Tile Fish is one of the most amazing tasting fish in the sea.

I usually just throw it on the grill wrapped in aluminum foil with butter & garlic...simple yet amazingly delectable!

sounds yummy. i do it the same way.. try adding some lemon to it.. fresh slices of lemon and a whole lemon juiced onto it..

you will love it so much.

but i must warn you guys to take it easy on the tilefish.. not like it would be a serious problem unlesss you eat 50lbs but it is very very very high in mercury content.. the highest in the ocean..

Oh that fresh squeeze splash of lemon sounds mighty tasty....my mouth is watering a little bit! I will defiantly be trying that as soon as we catch some!

wow i defiantly didn’t know that tile fish had a lot of mercury...between all the tuna and the tile i ate over this summer I might have a slight problem...lol

if you look up the mercury content in fish tilefish is very very high.. it is higher than swordfish.. salmon.. mackerel.. it is crazy..

Apparently tuna isn’t even a concern. Check this page out from the FDA. I’m really surprised tuna isn’t on there.

...Chunks in Boiling water till they float. Butter and black pepper when out of the water.


And to commence the Hijacking....

Krissi,
Thanks for the chart. Interesting to see one study dated 1978 from NMFS that list a study of 60 samples that shows the content of mercury 1.45 ppm vs the study of 32 samples from the FDA dated 2002 showing mercury content .144. Unless I read it wrong, the FDA study has Tilefish mercury levels lower than a long list of species, including Grouper, Snapper, Trout,Tuna.

BOIL EM UP!
