Wahoo Recipes

[sea scape]

Keep em comming .......... still to see a Crumb mix for Fryin
Got some friends from Biloxi that made some kinda coating with "Cornmeal" and other spices never got that recipe

Here is one of my mixtures that I use...
Now I don't really measure my seasonings when I add the seasonings
to this mixture...
I just kinda eyeball it and tast as I mix...

2 cups of cornmeal
1 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour

add.. these seasonings to taste...
sea salt .. you can use table salt ..
fresh ground peppercorns
garlic powder... not to much just enough for a hint of taste
cayenne pepper, use sparingly if you don't like it hot, I like mine with a kick
add a pinch of dill weed... just a pinch now.

Wash your fish, while fish is still wet dredge through mixture
you can dredge more than once for a thicker crust..

I fry mine in canola oil until brown...
after frying squeeze just a little lemon on fish portions
and serve with hushpuppies, homemade cole slaw
and some homemade potatoe salad or homemade baked beans.

I guess this would work for wahoo too, I have used it for other types of fish for pan sear or deep fry. Drench in eggwash and dredge in crushed potato chip pieces then to the deep fryer or pan. Can't take credit for it though. Saw it on Frank White's Southern Sportsman Outdoors YEARS AGO!!

Good stuff

Good fried Wahoo Recipe:

Cut 'Hoo into cubes.

In a saute pan, place enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Place on medium heat and let it go until water pops when a little drop is flicked into the pan.

Roll the 'Hoo in hot sauce, then place the hot sauce coated pieces in a Ziplock Bag filled with instant Potato Flakes (I usually get garlic flavored). Shake the bag until all the Wahoo is covered in potato flake breading.

Remove the wahoo from the bag and place it in the hot saute pan. Let it fry, and keep turning the fish over until it is golden brown on both sides.

MMMmmmMMM...

I have 3 go to recipes for Wahoo.

First Thing - I never steak wahoo - I always fillet it and remove all of the red meat between the loins.

Recipe 1 - Grilled Bacon Wrapped Wahoo - Cut Wahoo steaks about 1 1/2 inches - If the steaks are portion size, simply wrap a strip of Thick cut smoked, peppered bacon and grill. If the pieces are not portion size, you can combine multiple small steaks together - wrap them tightly with bacon to make a larger steak, and pin the whole thing together with bamboo skewers. A little garlic powder, coarse black pepper and olive oil on both sides.

Recipe 2 - soak chunks of wahoo in a mixture of teryaki, sesame oil and olive oil for 1/2 hour, sprinkle your favorite rub on both sides and grill

Recipe 3 - cut the loin against the grain in long strips - about 1/4 inch thick. sprinkle with your favorite seasonings.

In a skillet, place enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan, turn the heat to medium high. place the wahoo strips in the pan, leave for about 45 seconds, flip and leave it for about another 45 seconds.

The best part of the wahoo usually gets tossed. The belly! it's full of fat just like toro (Bluefin belly). The problem is you need a pretty big hoo to get any size portion off them. I've found 50 lbs and up is usually needed. Easy and simple but the key is high heat. Get your grill white hot screamin do not put any oil on your grates. Add some salt pepper and a little granulated garlic. Throw it on the grill and watch it sizzle let it crisp on one side than the other, the trrick here is to not over cook it or it will start to fall apart when you try to get it off. Make a fresh salsa ahead of time and put a big scoop right on top or just squeeze some fresh citrus on them and your in for a tremendous treat. Good Eatin Thanks Tim.
