Deep fried the crappie and the snapper throats, easy breezy and deep fried crappie is hard to beat. Used zatarans southern crispy on one batch and zatarans Cajun crispy on the second. Took the snapper fillets and gave them a light dusting of flour and seared them both sides in a cast iron skillet. Finished the snapper fillets off in the oven with a lemon/butter sauce. Good stuff! The cobia (which I’ve never cooked before tonight) I took and cut it about an inch thick steak/medallions. Hit it with the blackening season and had the grill already fired up. Very firm texture and did great on the grill. Slightly overcooked, but cobia is some great fish. Had several family and friends over for supper and no one complained about the cobia being a little overcooked. Hard to complain with a mouth full of food. Hush puppies, fries, grilled asparagus, and key lime pie. Hard to keep tabs on the grill and the deep fryer all going at the same time, but everyone left out with full bellies. Thank you guys for the suggestions!
