Ok Guys and Gals, I am making this post because I have seen others share awesome recipes that I have tried over the years and this is my way to give back to the forum and it's users by tossing in my number 1 favorite.

4 total ingredients (see photo below) - Slap Ya Mama Seasoning, Ranch Dressing, French's brand french fried onions, and your Redfish filets on the halfshell still (this means that the scales are left on each filet).

1.) Cajun spice to taste
2.) Ranch dressing to cover fish (I recommend making it semi thick on top)
3.) French's brand french fried fried onions over top of fish and press into the ranch dressing...cover fish
4.) Bake 350 degrees on the top rack as if you were broiling it for 10 minutes.
5.) Then, lower it to middle rack and turn oven to broil. Cook 5 minutes.

I wish that pictures could capture smell because da@# this @#$% smells good!! The fish comes out juicy and marinated full of flavor thanks to the ranch (I don't even like ranch btw but in this recipe it just kicks !@#.) I hope you guys and gals enjoy.

Before and after pics w/ ingredients shown.

I have a redfish on the half shell recipe I will share from a friend who is no longer with us.


6-10 Fillets with skin and scales intact
Pat dry and apply a few drops of Tobasco to meat


In a saucepan, melt 1/2 stick of butter
2 cups Italian dressing
1 cup Thousand Island dressing
1 8 oz bottle of Tiger Sauce
1 tablespoon Tony's or Slap-yo-momma seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons lemon juice


Have grill hot and place halfshells on Pam-ed (cooking spray) grill SKIN SIDE DOWN. Sprinkle generously with Italian bread crumbs. Spoon mixture of the sauce or use large turkey baster. Cook with lid closed for about 6-8 minutes or until fork is inserted in the thickest part of the fish can twist meat apart. DO NO OVERCOOK. Serve with skin and scales still attached and just eat off of skin.

Warning: Has been know to cause convulsions if over-eaten. Can be used as an aphrodisiac with white wine and a candle along with a Barry White CD.
DO NOT continue if E------- lasts longer than 4 hours.

Pecan crusted trout!!!
Found this one awhile back. very tasty over a bed of rice pilaf or brown rice!
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Mix pecans, rosemary, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl. Dip trout fillets in flour and shake off excess; dip fish into beaten egg, then into seasoned pecans, lightly pressing pecan coating onto fish. Arrange fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
