Whats a good recipe for serving up your catch?

There are a couple of pretty good King recipes.

First off, DO NOT Steak the fish - Fillet them. That lets you get all of the red off of the meat and improves the flavor greatly.

Fried King nuggets:
Cut the fillets into chunks.
Dip the chunks in buttermilk
dredge the chunks in breader mix ( or 1/2 Flour, 1/2 Cornmeal, salt, pepper other seasonings to taste)
Fry in 375 degree oil until the chunks float...

Grilled -
cut the fillets into large chunks
marinate the chunks in ranch dressing
skewer the chunks
salt & pepper to taste
grill

I ususally steak mine and put the steaks in a dish and let them marinate for about 6 hours in itialian dressing with natures own seasoning. Take a vidiala onion or any sweet onion and slice it up and put in a pieco of tinfoil with some margerine then fold it up(make it look like a portugese man of war) When you start your fire put tinfoil on grill to let onions cook while you are grilling fish. When you flip fish over take a fork and poke holes in tinfoil and let onion flavored margarine drip on the fish. Oh just season fish to taste before you grill.

I cut my kingfish into 6" chunks. Place each chunk in a crab trap and soak the traps for a couple days. Pull the traps and eat the crabs.
