Joe’s Blackened Fish Tacos, Cilantro Slaw & Jalapeño Sour Cream

Posted March 30th, 2010 by Joe Comments (6)

These Blackened Fish Tacos are a simple and an impressive dish. I chose to use Grouper because I had it from a fishing trip. Mahi-mahi, walleye or any of your favorite fish would work just fine. That said, I prefer a firm white fish fillet for this recipe. The spicy fish combines with the sweet crunchy slaw and cool refreshing jalapeño cream for a great outdoor summer meal. Kick it up even more with your favorite sweet and spicy salsa.

Leather is Better! (Sorry PETA)

Posted March 22nd, 2010 by Joe Comments (1)

Leather is naturally a good insulator, and therefore a bad conductor of heat. Pair that with good durability and it is easy to justify the extra price you pay for a good set leather grilling mitts.

Blackened seasoning is an easy way to add great flavor to many types of grilled dishes. I often get asked how to mix up the seasoning. This is a super simple spice blend that I think makes for great results.

Be One With Your Inner Caveman

Posted March 11th, 2010 by Joe Comments (0)

Whether you are a man or woman, grilling allows you to connect to your inner primal being; the caveman that lives deep down inside of all of us.

Once in a while we need to act on some of our primal instincts, and for me the easiest way is to cook on a hot grill. The glowing coals combined with the smoky aroma of seared meat really taps into that inner caveman, but I suggest you take it one step farther and ditch the grate.

Gas or Charcoal?

Posted March 10th, 2010 by Joe Comments (0)

No matter your choice, gas and charcoal both have advantages and disadvantages. Choose whichever one makes sense to you and your needs. For a casual griller who doesn’t want the mess, labor and smell of a charcoal grill, I’d recommend a good gas grill.

When choosing a gas grill, do not skimp on the size and BTUs if you plan to entertain. If it is for an apartment, single person or small family you can get by with a smaller gas grill.

For a more die-hard grilling fan that enjoys entertaining and doesn’t mind the extra effort, a charcoal grill is a great solution.
