    Pompano grilled with lime and extra-virgin olive oil shows off this delicate tasting meat. All it needs is salt and pepper with a sprinkle of flat-leaf parsley. The Florida fish does not taste oily or fishy. 

    Catching Florida Pompano

    It's wonderful when you're in a warm place away from the nasty winter weather and able to share that special place with people that you love.

    What you do isn't important, it's doing something together, even something simple . . .

    . . . such as fishing.

    It was an exciting moment when this pompano was brought in. The smile on the fisherman's face was a mile wide. And I can admit that the fish tasted wonderful!!

    We decided to make Jason's pompano grilled with lime and extra-virgin-olive oil. It's a simple preparation for the fish because it's a very mild. It's flesh is firm, sweet and tender so it's perfect for grilling.

    My boys left the skin on the fillet {I don't clean the fish} so that it's easier to grill. The skin has an incomplete covering of  scales.

    Gilled pompano with lime and olive oil on a white plate with a wedge of lime and a salad of arugula with mushrooms on the side.

    Simple ingredients compliment pompano grilled with lime and olive oil

    This recipe would also lend itself well to flounder, sole, or monkfish and as a side I made Arugula with roasted mushrooms and leeks.

    The spicy baby arugula with lemon olive oil dressing compliments the mild fish perfectly. I will post that recipe after this one.

    Tutti a tavola è pronto

    Un caro saluto e alla prossima.

    Grilled Pompano with Lime and Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

    This is a very good recipe for a mild fish. The fillets are on the thin side so it does grill quickly. The flesh of the fish is firm, sweet and tender which makes it perfect for grilling. It does not need a lot of seasoning -- you want the mild flavor of the fish to come through.
