Grilled Fish Collars Recipes

GROUPER (FISH) COLLARS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill ~ 400F. Line a lightly oiled piece of aluminum foil over the grates. You will cook the fish on this and avoid a messy grill.
• Lightly oil the fish. MIx all the dry rub ingredients together and rub into the fish (careful of the bones!). Marinate it for a couple hours before if you have the time.
• Grill for ~ 5 minutes on each side or until fish is cooked through. Check next to the bones to see if it's done.
• Serve with sautéed greens and grilled pineapple. Add sea salt to taste. Happy Eating! Beckie

SWEET AND SALTY FISH COLLARS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 6 cups water and bring to a boil. Add the prunes and kombu and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes. Strain and return the liquid to the pot. (Discard the prunes and kombu, or reserve for other use. Keep in mind that the prunes might have a slightly briny taste.) Turn the heat to low and simmer for another 30 minutes, until the sauce thickens and reduces to a deeper flavored syrup. You should have about 2 cups.
• Heat a grill (preferably with hickory) until the grate is at high heat. (Alternatively you can set the oven to broil and cook them the same way on aluminum foil.) Brush the collars with the sauce. Grill (or broil), basting frequently with the sauce, for 2-3 minutes, checking to make sure the collar is seared and golden on one side and then flipping and searing on the other side for another 1-2 minutes, until just cooked. Remove immediately and serve with sauce on the side.

GRILLED FISH COLLARS

Steps:

• Put the collars in heavy duty freezer bags and add all the remaining ingredients save the lemon wedges. Seal the bags and shake them around to coat the collars well. Marinate in the fridge at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Get your grill nice and hot and clean the grates. Arrange the collars skin side up in one layer so they don't touch. Grill over high heat with the grill cover open until charred a little, about 5 minutes or so. Turn and do the same to the other side. If the meat's not cooked through (it will start to flake), give it a little more time.
• Serve hot with lemon wedges and a bowl to toss the various bits of bone and fin.

GRILLED FISH COLLARS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for cooking and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the fish collars with salt and pepper, then grill for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Remove to a baking sheet, then cover with the Chimichurri Sauce (don't be stingy, the more sauce, the more flavor).
• Bake until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 4 to 6 minutes. Serve with tortillas and lime wedges.
• Whisk together the olive oil, cilantro, parsley, thyme, vinegar, oregano, garlic, shallot, dried red pepper and salt and pepper in a bowl.
