Baked Whole Hogfish

Main Course, Serves 2-4

Ingredients

1 Whole Hogfish, of 2-3 lbs.

2 Limes

– Butter

1 Splash White Wine

4 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Cilantro Sprigs

1 Yellow Onion, roughly chopped

Instructions

1. Make three score marks on each side of the body of the fish, and place the fish on foil paper, doubled. Fold the sides to make a “bowl” around the fish so the juices won’t spill.

2. Stuff the pieces of butter and half-slices of lime in the score marks. 

3. Stuff the inside of the fish with the cilantro sprigs, the onion and a couple of slices of lime.

4. Pour a splash of white wine, 1 tbsp of the olive oil, and the juice of 1 lime over the fish. 

5. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Close the foil paper around the fish, and make sure that air can’t get out (you want the fish to steam in it!)

7. Bake at 350 degrees, for 2 minutes per 100g (3.5oz) of fish.

8. In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp of olive oil and the juice of half of a lime and serve with the fish.

A man of many good deeds, he’ll be the last to boast about them. This humility is somewhat at odds with the Dan Moultrie in front of a camera marketing a new deer feeder, the Dan Moultrie sitting proudly beside a lifetime buck, or the Dan Moultrie who has appeared on television shows with legendary football coaches or outdoor celebrities.

Part four of the Modern Huntsman x Lone Star Outdoor Film series. Waterfowl hunting creates a bond among friends that’s difficult to replicate. You could say the same about being a ship captain. This film is about both and follows our old friend John Dunaway as he shares his love for waterfowl, conservation, and hunting community on the Texas coast. We’re excited to tell more stories about those who care so deeply about wildlife and wild places in the Lone Star State, and hopefully, you find some inspiration within the adventure.
