The Florida pompano is a mild fish that's rich in taste with firm, white meat that almost melts in your mouth. All you need to bring out its subtle flavor is a squeeze of lime juice, some olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. The ideal way to cook the golden pompano is to grill it with the skin on.&nbsp;

The Best Way to Cook a Florida Pompano

8 oz. pompano (fillets skin on)

Tbs vegetable oil

Tbs olive oil (extra virgin)

tsp sea salt

tsp pepper

lime

Tbs flat-leaf parsley (fresh)

Rub the fillets with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Grill the fillets skin-side up onver a medium-hot-fire for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn them and cook an additional 2 to 3 minues, until the fish is opaque all the way through.

Remove the fillets from the fire and set them on a tray. Drizzle them with olive oil and squeeze a half lime over each.

Sprinkle with the Italian parsley. Serve Immediately.&nbsp;

All good things must be shared to make them better! You have given us a lot of wonderful recipes, my regret is that I'll never be able to try them all. Too old!

I like fish very much, especially deep fried. Never cared much for baked fish until  I tried my fish in foil, which I first fixed while serving in Viet Nam as a helicopter pilot. I caught someone else's fish they lost with a long piece of fishing line still attached, hung up in concertina wire on Cam Ranh Bay bridge. It wasn't a pompano, some type of Jack fish they said, but all the guys ate it and really liked it! They let me have a single bite! It really was good, but I think the pompano turned out better. At least it kept me from having to help clean fish from then on! Pompano in foil ranks right up there with fried fish now!

Thank you for all you do! Lot of work preparing all your recipes, then writing thm down and then getting them posted!

I have never had or even heard of pompano fish! This is so interesting! Grilled fish is the most flavorful in my opinion so I can't wait to try your recipe!

Wow is that ever a spectacular looking cut of fish.  You can tell they'd be fighters based on that build!  I'm trying to remember if I've had pompano years ago, but I don't think so.  It's not easily available in my neck of the woods! But with the wealth of cold-water fish recipes out there on the web, it's really nice to see something different.  Love the simple approach to cooking it too - really letting the texture and flavour of the fish speak for itself.  And hey, it's probably good with a cookie or two for dessert.  Y'know, the right kind of cookie. Lol.
