Blackened Fish

"If you like red snapper, then use it here - I think it's fabulous. The spice rub can be used on anything - it's the best I've ever tasted! I make 3 fillets for 2 people because it's so good!"

    I see cooking oil among the ingredients. What is that used for?

    Used 1/4th t cayenne it was just right for me. It was still plenty hot. It was great. I will be making it Again soon

    I've used this seasoning twice on catfish fillets. My husband and I are fans of fried catfish but after trying this recipe I will not choose fried over blackened. Delicious!

    This was just perfect. Spicy and full flavoured. Will use this recipe again and again.

    Delicious and reminds me of the cutest riddle: Q: What's the difference between Cajun zoos and other zoos? A: In front of each exhibit, other zoos have a plaque with the name of the animals, its habitat, etc. Cajun zoos have a plaque with the name of the animal---and its recipe. (It's a riddle...just a riddle.)

    no butter drizzle on fish after seasoned. Also, hot skillet works fine, no need for cast iron.
