Blackened Tilapia Fish

Blackened fish is very popular in New Orleans, Chef  Paul Prudhomme developed the recipe, very well received and as the say the rest is history. If you’ve never tried blackened fish before I implore you to try this blackened tilapia fish and you’d love it. You don’t have to use tilapia fillet you can use any firm white fish to prepare it.

This recipe requires little to no effort to make, you don’t have to fillet the fish yourself , you can use the store-bought and if you like to fillet it please feel free to do that. The fish goes with mostly everything, rice, peas and rice, mashed potatoes, my kids use it for sandwiches.
