Blackened Fish
These Cajun blackened fish recipes can be used to blacken tuna, red snapper, grouper, redfish, and just about every kind of fish that you can think of. If you have never tried blackened fish, you are in for a real treat. Some famous Cajun chefs have really made blackened fish famous recently (such as Chef Paul Prudhomme), but Cajuns have been cooking fish this way forever. We hope that you enjoy our Louisiana blackened fish recipes (try using redfish the first time, if it's available), and that you email us if you have any suggestions.
Before we share the blackened fish recipes, we need to explain how to make blackened fish seasonings. If you would prefer, you can also buy this seasoning from the store. Either way, it's great!

- Dip a piece of fish into the melted butter.
- Sprinkle your seasonings onto both sides of the fish.
- Place the piece of fish into the hot skillet.
- Pour a teaspoon of melted butter on the fish in the skillet.
