To start I am new to spear fishing (not to diving). I will only shoot what I'll eat, and am kind of picky. I like hog fish, so thats what I plan on hunting for now. Has any one tried grilling it? any recipies/tips? Thanks.

I have been spearfishing for years and have shot and cooked hundreds of hogs. Grilled is the way to go but honestly you can cook hogfish anyway you like and it still comes out good. Here are two to try out. If you have a cast iron skillet it really helps. Throw the skillet on the grill for 5-8 minutes ... let it get about 250 -300 degrees. Coat one side of the hogfish with melted butter by brushing it on, then put one light coat of garlic powder followed by a good coat of creole seasoning. Put it seasoning down on the hot skillet for 5 minutes ,then flip over on the grill (off the skillet) for 5-7 minutes untill cooked.... Another favorite is to take the fillets, wrap them in tin foil leaving room to put in a half cup of high quality white wine mutiple types of pepers, minced garlic and 5 or 6 lemon wedges along with what ever other spices you might like, but don't go too crazy. Hope this helps
 
Hog is very tasty. I like to keep it simple and put it on the grill. I also don't like Alum-foil since I like the grilled taste. I use fish racks, or cheap baking cooling wire racks.

Take the hog filets, spray both sides with PAM oil spray
Sprinkle both sides lightly with pepper, garlic salt and popcorn butter salt.
Sandwich the filets between 2 cooling wire racks and put on a medium hot grill
Cook 4 minutes per side, flipping the racks on the grill
Remove from grill and pull off cooling racks to plates
Serve immediately while hot.

Every easy cleanup and quick to prepare.
 
Hog for breakfast, grits + egg + Hog
fish for breakfast id doesn't get much better
 
hog fish anything that tasty should not be that stupid it should not be shootin fish in a barrel it should be like shooting hog fish

little lemon butter and heat and you got a meal
 
My favorite recipe and fish period. douse your hog fish fillets with a little lime juice and cilantro.....not long however. Grill on med/low heat and when you flip the fillets, top them with mango salsa. cook till finished and serve over saffron rice with black beans on the side.
A glass of good Pinot Grigio will complete.
 
You guys are making me hungry. I too have been spearing for years and cooked plenty of hogs. I just never get tired of that white, flaky meat-it's as close to shellfish as you can get. Grilling is a great way to cook them. Put just a dash of garlic salt and crushed red pepper on the filets before grilling. Then as soon as it comes off the grill, while it is still hot, brush it with butter...Frigging DEVINE!!!

i love hogfish and my favorite method for cooking it is to gut and scale it and then brish the outside with liberal amounts of olive oil and garlic. then I stuff the inside cavity with fresh rosemary and basil, more garlic and then jam a few lemon chunks (thicker the better as it holds the meat apart and lets the heat get inside)

delicious
