He went fishing. So it's Crispy Vermilion Snapper for dinner tonight!

This weekend my Hunny went fishing. He is an avid Fisherman, but in South Florida that usually means alot of Kingfish. Not for nothin, I'm sick of Kingfish! So this time he went looking for something new. There apparently is a moratorium on Vermilion Snapper (pink mini snapper), You can only catch and keep 2 per person. We got lucky! He caught 2 and we had 2 Snapper for dinner! Yum. When fish is caught and cooked immediately and not frozen, it is at it's best! We love a light flaky fish, with a bold flavor coating. Yum!
I made Lemon Rice and a Broccoli Slaw to go alongside..and it was a fantastic Summer dinner!
