BBQ Cobia + Chili Lemon Butter with Chef Jean-Paul

When we started our relationship with Chef Jean-Paul, we were at the height of summer in Texas and both Jean-Paul and Fish Fixe were heavily leaning on our grills and smokers to do most of the work during dinner time.  We love to say “set it and forget it,” and BBQ Cobia ticks that box.

If you have a smoker, this recipe is for you.  While you may be only familiar with smoking meat, smoking fish is an excellent (dare we say better!) alternative.

So snap open that group text, invite some buds, throw some beer on ice, and call it a BBQ party.

Chef Jean-Paul takes you through this entire recipe on our YouTube Channel.  Check out BBQ Cobia and more cooking inspiration.

 

 

To complete the BBQ Cobia recipe, you do not need a smoker.  Simply use your grill and reduce the cook time to 10 minutes.  Smear the Chili Lemon Butter on the fish every few minutes, including when you pull it off the grill.
