Simple and Delicious Cobia Recipes

5:50 pm   Drew   1 Comment

Yesterday, to our surprise, we caught a nice cobia while out fishing a wreck off Marathon. Unlike during the winter months, cobia are not that common in the Florida Keys during summertime, especially on the Atlantic Ocean side. So we were quite thrilled to put one in the box- thrilled enough that we decided to have friends over for dinner to enjoy our delicious catch.

Below are two simple recipes for how I cooked the cobia. I didn’t feel like running to the grocery and doing anything fancy so I just used what I had around the house. Both styles of fish ended up being absolutely delicious.

The lime grilled cobia was nice and refreshing after a hot day on the water, and the spicy, Asian dish, has just the right amount of kick to get the evening rolling.

Enjoy!

Season the fish with salt, pepper, old bay and garlic powder and place in a bowl or baking dish. Cover fillets with Lime Vinaigrette Dressing and marinade in the refrigerator for one hour. Turn the grill to high heat (if using propane) and wipe the grate with vegetable oil to keep the fish from sticking. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes per side.
