Here's an old newspaper article about Paul Prodhomme, who I think invented blackened red fish, and it includes his recipe:

I don't know if he invented it, but his New Orleans restaurant, K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen, certainly started the blackened redfish craze that lead to the shutdown of redfish fishing. The population is back in spades and they are available under mangroves throughout the Gulf of Mexico. The red drum is an excellent eating fish and can be caught by wade fishing in the back waters as well as from boats.
same as in the spring in northern michigan... you ever collect the lucky stones from them chow?
We did as kids. We also swapped sheepshead for yellow perch from the black fishermen. They have a way of cooking them that gets past all the nasty greasy taste. I believe they skin them, de-fat them, fillet them and then grind them to make patties. I'm sure with enough seasoning you can get past the taste of the fish.

I have no idea what the lucky stones are, Jeff.
And I'm not sure I do (lol).
I did eat some once. I filleted above the lateral line, cut into pieces, dropped in boiling water for a minute, then chilled on ice. Ate with cocktail suace.
Did I mention I ate some "once" lol. Can't belive everything you read in F&S.

Fresh water sheepshead - you eat that shit? Try the salties. They're quite good on the plate.
