Re: redfish substitute
thanks guys I have tried snapper in the past and didn't like the outcome although I do like snapper it just didn't have the same light flavor or flaky delicate texture of red fish.

Re: redfish substitute
Drum will work - in fact a redfish is really a red drum. You will not be able to tell the difference between a red drum and black drum in taste and texture.
Don't use a huge drum (otherwise known as a big nasty).
Any lean fish will work - bass, tilapia, catfish
I would stay away from an oily fish like macheral (sp).

Re: redfish substitute
TT - do you ever blacken the stripers?
I prefer blackened over on the half shell

Re: redfish substitute
I haven't myself, but have eaten it blackened. I like it both ways.
Here is some I did on the half-shell a while back...
