Trigger Fish on the grill
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not many folks, including myself, though trigger fish would be a good fish to eat, but I'm here to tell ya, they are delicious!!!! If cooked the way I describe below, they'll taste just like lobster!! No joke.
Though very tough to clean (i.e. dull up a fillet knife) with their tough skin, they are definately worth the time and effort.
Fillet out the meat (skin off)
rinse fillets with fresh water then place in a bowel
of cold water with a little bit of fresh squeezed lemon or lime
on a charcoal grill, wait till the coals are completely ashed over
while waitin' prep the fillets as such.
Start with large section of tin foil
spread butter on the foil, sprinkle a little garlic powder on
then lay fillets onto the buttered foil
put tabs of butter on top of fillets
then put cut lemon sections in the mix
wrap up the foil (use as much foil as needed)
then poke a few holes in top of foil with toothpick
when coals are ready, put the foiled bundle of fillets onto the grill
close grill top
slow broil for 20 minutes
then pull out the bundle, open up and eat
We call it Poor man's Lobster and dang if it dont taste just
like lobster
Season to taste after cooking if necessary....
