I need a good recipe for scamp

[BIGnUGLY]

I happened upon a cooler of scamp and have some company over tonight. How about a good recipe for scamp on the grill or oven.

If you mean scamp grouper, i prefer to fry them, however you asked, baked: cut into large finger sizes, dip in melted butter, roll in dry instant mashed potato flakes, bake 375 for 15 min or till brown, eatem up

Not much in the way of scamp served in the eating establishments up my way.

Roll the whole fillets in some olive oil......drip some lime juice over them.....add some garlic salt and black pepper...Bake at 350 for @15 minutes....Scamp are delicious......no need to do too much to them.....

I think cracker is the winner, it's my humble opinion that scamp is the finest eating fish that there is, with flounder coming in a close second.

yuuuuummmmmmmmmm,
Blackened scamp is the only way to go. Butter, a hot iron pan and good blackening seasoning. (Paul Tradeau ? spelling, makes a good one.) Heat pan up, sprinkle blackening seasoning on fish to taste, butter pan just before putting the scamp in the pan. (the pan has to be really hot) Add buter when you turn the fish over. If you haven't tried scamp blackened you haven't lived. I agree with above, you can't beat scamp no matter how you cook it. Just don't screw it up, they want about $18 a lb for it here in Atlanta.
enjoy

You gotta try this. I used it on talipia from the store ,but also on striper,flounder, salmon ,mako,tog, it's good on any fish. I've done it in a pan and on a grill.

Bronzed Talapia

Ingredients:
2/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/3 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 teaspoon white pepper
1/3 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 teaspoon dried basil
1/3 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/3 dashes black pepper
1 1/3 dashes dried thyme
4 talapia fillets
vegetable cooking spray

Preparation:
Combine the seasonings mix ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle each side of each fillet evenly with 1/2 teaspoon of this mixture. Preheat a 10-inch skillet over high heat to 400°, about 5 minutes. Spray the top side of each fillet evenly with vegetable cooking spray. Place the fillets, two at a time (sprayed side down), in the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and cook 2 minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook until done, about 2 minutes more. Remove the cooked fillets, wipe the skillet clean, bring the heat back to 400°, and repeat the process with the remaining fillets.

Serves: 4

I went with CAC's recipe and it was excellent. I sliced my lime and layed on top with garlic salt and pepper after a quick dip in the olive oil. I wrapped mine in foil on the grill till almost done. It finished cooking by the time I was ready to eat. Thanks Cracker. I think I'll try the potato flakes on some red grouper I have. Thanks again fellas.
