Up and down the Atlantic coast and in the Gulf of Mexico, catching redfish is a major fishing activity. The procedure produces a skin-and-scales-on fillet for cooking “on the half-shell.” It leaves in place the “throat” of the fish, on the lower front of the fillet, which Richoux especially prizes.If a skinless fillet is desired, hold the tail tip of the fillet, skin side down to the cutting surface, and with the other hand cut-scrape the flesh loose from the skin.
