What Goes With Fresh Red Fish?

Ronnie was out fishing yesterday with a buddy and they caught a couple of beautiful Red Fish that were keepers. Ronnie with a red fish off Crystal Beach FloridaSo this afternoon we are having fresh, blackened Red Fish for lunch and I decided to make some orzo pasta to go with it.

To make it right, I slice an entire large onion and several fresh garlic cloves and sautee them in a black skillet with olive oil. Then I add fresh parsely and basil Bob's snookfrom my garden, fresh ground black pepper, a couple of freshly picked and diced tomatoes and a good quarter pound of chopped feta cheese to the skillet. Next I mix in the cooked orzo pasta, mix and it is ready to be a great side dish to the Red Fish!

Bob caught a nice snook but we cannot keep snook on the Gulf Coast of Florida right now, so once this photo was taken, it was released back into the Gulf of Mexico!

Nice catch, and a great dinner! Of course, you know a nice glass of wine will go well with that :-)

What a beautiful catch (it's the fisherman in me)!  But, I am also a cook, and this sounds great!  Bookmarked!

Terrific.  I would have waited for dinner and invited a few friends over for redfish and orzo.

Barbara-Jo, It will take us about 14 hours to get there for our grilled fish dinner. The orzo pasta sounds perfect with it. I'll bring the wine. Enjoy your weekend.

Too bad we have to watch the rules but the fish just jump on our hook anyway.  I think they are just teasing us.

BarbaraJo- I love orzo and I'm going to copy your recipe!  I remember the first snook I caught and then released.  No photo, though, no one had a camera that dayl
