Your War and Peace correspondent chiming in here.....
Duggan, would you know a tilapia if it swam up your creek?
I can't believe I'm defending a cookbook!
Speaking of which..SEND MORE RECIPES!! E-mail them to me. I have a file folder with only 22 recipes so far. Need at least 50 to make it fun. And, please include a story. Did your recipe come from your great-grand uncle's fishing camp on the bayou? Tell me the story.
And, Wayne, I love to broil tilapia with lemon pepper, barbecue spices, garlic powder and chicken seasoning on it. Great stuff.
Also, wrap it in foil, smoke it over pecan, hickory or mesquite (you don't have mesquite in western Alabama, do you). I like to smoke it at 170-180 degrees, over indirect heat, for two or three hours. Open the foil for the last twenty minutes. Serve with twice baked potato, hand tossed salad, candelight, with a gorgeous woman. Or, cook the meat, buy some chips and graze. Invite Bill Duggan over to clean up.
