Best fish I have ever put in my mouth

[Nauti Natured]

I just posted this in the Grillin and Chillin section but I had to share it directly with my family over here in Box's world.

I found some "fresh" wahoo at the local Harris Teeter so I scooped up a piece for dinner tonight. I actually combined two of the recipes (Sea Draggin's recipes) that I had found in the G&C forum and added my own little twist.

I used medium size medallions of Wahoo with the skin removed and all of the red cut out. I made a mixture of 1/2 Chipotely pepper spiced mayo, 1/2 regular Hellmans mayo, and some Old Bay seasoning and mixed it all together in a bowl. Then, I covered (slathered completely) the fish in the mayo mixture and then wrapped them in thick cut bacon. I grilled it at high heat for about 5 minutes per side and......

IT WAS THE BEST FISH I HAVE EVER PUT IN MY MOUTH!!!!!! My wife agreed. It was so moist it was like a piece of filet mignon.
AND.... this was "product of Ecuador" Wahoo from the Harry Peter! ( I know ... I am ashamed, but I gotta do what I gotta do) Imagine what it will be like with a fresh steak. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM .... MMMM.


By the way .... ate it with some boiled garlic Kale with a good balsamic vinegar, a purple sweet potato with butter and brown sugar and a nice glass of red wine. DELICIOUS. Cant wait to make it again.

I tried sea draggin's receipt a while back and got the same reaction at my house. My wife says the fish tastes like steak. I add whatever dry seasonings I'm in the mood for when I mix the mayo and mustard.

I think the recipe would be great. Just not so sure I'd "admit" to having to buy wahoo at the grocery store. Get you're butt down here to the coast and catch some eally fresh hoo, silly man! Frank

I put on my trench coat and pulled my ball cap down tight on my mirrored shades, prayed for my grand daddy's forgiveness and skulked into a local fish store hoping no friends or neighbors would see me, just to buy some wahoo. You see, a small skiff owner like me can't go out and play with the big boys. So what's an addict supposed to do???

So I drive all around Sneads Ferry and Topsail Island to Surf City and not a piece of fresh hoo to be found. The first local fish monger I approached told me he tried carrying it a few years back but nobody bought it 'cause it was too oily. I backed out of the place, hand on my belt knife knowing that I was talking to an insane man. But I pretty much got the same answer everywhere I checked. I thought I was in Bizarro World for a while. You just can't tell me that nobody in an ocean front community won't eat or sell the best tasting fish there is. I was stunned. But not deterred.

I finally navigated my way to civilization-- Hampstead-- and found me a nice fresh tenderloin. The guy got a little agitated when I grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him-- "Do you got any more!!!!" He just said, check back again next week you lunatic! and reached onto his hip for something. So I decided it best if I just backed out of that store and then I made a run for the truck.

I played it cool all the way home and got that chunk of hoo in the sauce and spices, wrapped in bacon and coals fired up about as quick as a jackrabbit on a date. Couldn't have been any better.

Do I need help?
