Blackened Fish

The first thing I need to start off with is telling you that I had a pretty bad fishing season last year...I only hit the waters once. Therefore, my freezer is not full of fish (but it is full of deer and pheasant - more on that later). So, what you see in the photo is store-bought Tilapia, and it was delicious!

My wife is not a fish eater at all, and she scarfed her fillet down as if she had not eaten in years. This recipe can be used on everything from bottom feeding catfish to wonderful walleye. The herbs on the fish will help mask the "fishy" taste; however, remember this is still fish your cooking!

I also have to admit I'm not a photographer. Therefore, my wife, will be taking most of my pictures. Some of the photos I use can also be found on Lauren's blog - As Good As Gluten.
