FRIED SNAPPER WITH CREOLE SAUCE
Best enjoyed using local snapper, this bright dish represents the protein part of fish and fungi, a classic duo on dinner tables in the Virgin Islands. The fish is topped with plenty of thyme-laced, tomato-based Creole sauce and is typically served over a bed of fungi, the classic Virgin Islands side dish of buttery cooked cornmeal with sliced, boiled okra. Michael Anthony Watson and Judy Watson, husband-and-wife owners of Petite Pump Room in St. Thomas, traditionally use whole fried snapper for this recipe, but you can use fish fillets. For authenticity, serve them with plenty of hot sauce on the side for a little extra heat.

Steps:
- Prepare the sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium until shimmering. Add the onions, red and green bell peppers and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and just starting to brown, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, thyme and 1 3/4 cups water; bring to a boil over high.
- Stir in the white vinegar and seasoning salt, reduce the temperature to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, prepare the fish: Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium. On a large plate, mix the flour and seasoning salt with a fork.
- Pat the snapper fillets dry using paper towels, and season 2 fillets with salt and pepper before dipping them into the flour mixture until coated on both sides.
- Once the oil is shimmering, gently lay the floured fillets in the hot oil, skin-side down, and cook until skin is crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a fish spatula, carefully flip fillets and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.
- Transfer the fish to a large paper-towel-lined plate. Cover loosely with foil and repeat with the remaining fillets.
- Divide fish among plates, skin side up, and top with the Creole sauce. Serve immediately, passing hot sauce at the table.
CREOLE MARINATED GRILLED RED SNAPPER
Steps:
- Combine the onions and garlic. Whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour 1/2 marinade over fish with onions and garlic. Let fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Grill fish on both sides for about 7 minutes. Warm remaining marinade and serve over cooked fish.
CAJUN STYLE BLACKENED SNAPPER
Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, white pepper, black pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and oregano.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat for 10 minutes, or until extremely hot.
- Dip fish into melted butter, and sprinkle each fillet generously with the seasoning mixture. Place the fish fillets in the hot skillet. Pour 1 tablespoon of butter over each fillet. Cook until the coating on the underside of the fillet turns black, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the fish over. Pour another tablespoon of butter over the fish, and cook for 2 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

CREOLE-STUFFED SNAPPER AND CREOLE RICE
Nothing says, "Summer is here!" better than whole grilled snapper! This recipe is a staple in my household. My dad's family is from New Orleans, so of course we had to represent those flavors in this delicious seafood dish. We often serve it with steamed rice or to kick it up a notch, Creole rice.

Steps:
- For the red snapper: Rub the coarse sea salt generously on the inside and outside of the red snapper. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Lightly oil the grill grates and heat the grill to 300 degrees F.
- For the creole stuffing: Heat a cast-iron skillet on the grill over direct heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Once melted, add the celery, bell peppers and white and green onions and cook until softened and browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 to 2 additional minutes.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, lemon zest and juice, kosher salt, Creole seasoning, dried thyme, dried sage, cayenne and remaining butter in a bowl and mix until well blended. Add the sauteed vegetables to the stuffing mixture and mix. Set aside.
- Wipe off the salt from the red snapper and stuff it with the stuffing mixture. Secure it with cooking twine (remember to remove the twine before serving). Place the lemon rounds on the grill and place the red snapper atop the rounds. Grill until the flesh is opaque, about 25 minutes.
- For the creole rice: Saute the andouille sausage, stewed tomatoes, white onions, bell peppers and butter in a cast-iron skillet on the grill over direct heat until lightly browned and shiny, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the Creole seasoning, dried thyme and dried sage to the skillet and stir. Add the cooked rice and stir until uniform in appearance.
- Place the stuffed red snapper onto the rice and serve.

Steps:
- Put the fish in a baking dish and make shallow diagonal 3 inch long cuts on each side of the fish. Season each side of the fish with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 t of the Creole seasoning. Let the seasoned fish rest in the fridge while you make the sauce.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a medium stockpot over med-high heat. Add your onions, bell peppers, celery, the remaining 2 t of salt, cayenne, thyme and the bay leaves. Cook, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes - until the onions are soft and golden. Stir in the green onions and garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes (don't brown the flour).
- Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce and the pepper sauce. Cook this mixture over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add the parsley and then remove the sauce from the heat and let cool for about 15 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the red snapper and bake it for about 1 hour, until the flesh if firm and cooked through (if you are using smaller fish filets, you will have to adjust the time down).
- Loosen the head from the fish and remove. Run a spoon down the back of the fish to find the spine. Gently loosen the flesh from the spine and the bones, slipping a wide spatula under the flesh, lift the flesh away from the gones and lay the filet of fish on a serving plate. Gently pull the fish skeleton away from the bottom filet and discard. Lift the bottom filet from the roasting pan and put on the serving plate. Remove and discard the bay leaves and pour the sauce into a bowl for serving.
- Serve the fish with the sauce spooned over the top!
