#1 wife and I love to eat them and she has a very simple, yet delicious way of cooking them. She puts a streak of olive oil in a hot skillet followed by the fillets, a dash of my homemade rub and a sprinkling of rosemary from the herb garden. Flips them once and squeezes half a lemon over the four fillets. They cook really fast and complimented with a garden salad and some ciabatta bread make for a pleasant meal.
I did have to work for these today though. I probably threw that net 50 times to get those 8 fish. She said she's making it again tomorrow night.
