Wahoo Recipes

Looking for some different grilling recipes.

Wahoo is so good it doesn't need anything to be delicious. For wahoo, I usually salt/pepper and brush some butter on that I've squeezed some fresh lemon juice into. Not too much lemon because you don't want to mask the wahoo. Grill for 5-7 minutes on a side, depends on grill temp.

I also like to take a teflon skillet and put 2 tablespoons of olive in it. Take some wahoo steak or filet pieces about an inch thick, salt/peeper, add a light coating of cracker meal, I mean just a light dusting on each side. Throw them in the medium hot skillet and just brown them. You then put them in a pan and set them in the oven for 15 minutes at 325 degrees. Eat with either cajun sauce or mexican salsa on the side.

Wahoo is probably my favorite eating fish. It cooks up very similar to a chicken breast and takes on the flavor of any sauce/seasoning you use with it. Just caught Wahoo is exceptionally good. It beats the pants off of Swordfish, Which I consider "poor man's Wahoo"!!! Just be really carefull...it goes from just perfectly done to WAY overcooked and dry as a bone in seconds if cooked at too high a temp. Recommend grilled with plenty of lemon/garlic butter and take it off at 75% done and let it "rest" while you gather the folks, plate the sides, and pop the cork. By the time you cut in...it'll be perfect. BTW...do that with all fish, too.

Cut the wahoo across the grain, into small steaks. Put into a bag with some fresh squeazed lemon and lime. (Dont leave it in too long, the idea is not to cook the fish like ceviche, but just add a little citrus flavor) Half cook/fry a slice of bacon for each piece of fish. Take the fish out of the juice and wrap with the bacon. Sprinkle on a little Pico de gallo for looks and a little kick. Fry the fish in a little of the bacon grease on the grill, a few minutes on each side. I just made some of this and not only had it for dinner, I made sandwiches with it the next day for lunch and had the leftover piece the next night before the wifey could snag it!

I like all grilled fish with noodles and alfrado sauce, i put crab or shrimp, crawfish and mushrooms in the sauce and try to make my own pontratrain sauce to put over the fish and noodles

What is "pontratrain" sauce?


I just finished dinner tonight with deep fried yellowtail. I have never made it this way before, but earlier this year at Rancho Leonero, in Mexico, mi Nieto caught an amberjack and the cook fried it this way and it was delicious! I highly recomend it! (Yellowtail is in the Jack family).
