We burned this tonight. Photos are outside..serious smoke. The dish was
way better than the photo.

I'm going to have to google for the technique...

Dad has a fondness for blackened fish, and I noticed a small cardboard
container of "cajun blackened fish spice" sitting on the sideboard the
other day. <G>

Since I do all the cooking, I'm taking that as a hint!

I have some older, less valuable cast iron stashed out back in the
storage cabinets, I suppose I could dedicate one of the cheapo Lodge
pans to be used outdoors on the grill and give it a shot. I'd _never_
abuse mom's beloved Griswolds like that!

I'd experiment with something cheap like Catfish first.

That pic looks tasty!

They look way good! You don't get blackened anything without smoke.

I use a Coleman stove. We have a gas grill but you can super heat the
cast iron with the Coleman and have better control..you need a white ash
hot skillet.. cast iron is tough stuff, don't think you can hurt it. I
think they actually like to be used for this dish. <g>

Catfish work great as does salmon.

It is a crowd pleaser..but don't try it inside...fire department will come.

Feel free! :-)
I've not googled yet, that's a weekend type project and I slept most of
this past weekend, I was coming down with a cold. :-P

Hmmmmm... I have a Coleman in the shed, but I'd have to pick up a tank
for it. Would a good hot wood fire work ok??? Wood fires get EVER so hot!

I know that mom used her Griswold over campfires, but, well, mom is no
longer with us. I'd rather play it safe and I do have some cheaper cast
iron that's not being used. I'd just need to clean the rust off and
using it over the campfire would do a good job of seasoning it. <G>

I DO have a nice salmon fillet in the freezer, but good catfish fillet
is 1/2 the price and we both like it.

Thanks for posting the idea!
He gripes sometimes if I don't cook enough "variety". <lol>
I don't mined it gives me license to experiment, and that's
what makes cooking fun!
