I just can't help wonder.....
At what point does 'technique' override 'preference'...and vice versa?!
And when does that get posted as such?
...blah...I ask too many questions as it is.....I just get off on all the pretty pictures anyway!
(sometimes I study the werdz tho....outta habit!)

Well Phil started this as a continuation of a debate from another topic, that's why there's debate, but I think the groundwork has be laid as far as what people think blackening is, so now let's just see some pics! No matter how you do it. Though oil razzing may ensue.Phil said:
I'll see if I can buy redfish (red drum). I like my catfish cornmeal fried and that's it. Lemon wedges. Nothing else. Mahi mahi is possible. I like that blackened on a soft roll with L&T.
Hot sauce of choice Louisiana style on all. Any pepper (superhots etc.) but Louisiana style.

Sad. I pretty much swap, cornmeal fried then blackened, each time I get catfish. You're missing out on the blackened catfish, but oh well... to each his own.
Since my son became lactose-intolerant, we generally don't use butter for anything. Sometimes I'll get some just for myself, but I'm digging on the Olivio coconut oil "spread" for a lot of things, when I don't use olive oil. That stuff's the bomb on cornbread and catfish, and doesn't have a too-strong coconut flavor.
"Sad" lol. Oh geeme.
Looks good to me!

Since my son became lactose intolerant, we use this stuff instead of real butter, or we just use olive oil, depending on the application. The coconut oil one is pretty darned tasty on cornbread, but I've never tried blackening with it.
