Cooking Your Fish: Cobia with Andouille Corn Sauce Recipe

Cobia Recipe: Fishing is a great sport—unlike golf, tennis, bowling, or other sports, you usually have something to show for it when the day is over.  As part of our fishing charter business, we clean the fish for you at the end of the day.  So, fresh fish is on the menu when you return home.  Many people are not used to preparing fresh, salt-water fish, so as part of our blog series we thought that it would be helpful to occasionally include some fish recipes from an excellent cook, my wife Phyllis. Today’s fish recipe is one of our favorites for cobia, one of the best eating fish in the ocean.

Cobia with Andouille Corn Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

1 3-oz link andouille sausage, sliced ¼” thick
¼ cup bell pepper, finely chopped
¼ cup green onion, finely chopped
2T chopped parsley (plus some for garnish)

3 Tbsp butter or margarine
3 ears corn

Why Are Port Canaveral Fishing Charters Better?

Sportfishing in Port Canaveral

For people visiting the central Florida area, including Cocoa Beach or Orlando, on vacation, there are a number of choices for those desiring a deep sea fishing trip.  They range from New Smyrna Beach to Fort Pierce on the east coast and from Clearwater to Naples on the west coast.

So why chose Port Canaveral?  There are a number of reasons.

Proximity:  Port Canaveral is only an hour drive on four-lane freeway from any of the Orlando attractions.  All of the other locations are farther.

Trips/Rates:  A standard sportfishing trip from Port Canaveral is 9 hours, while other locations offer shorter trips and cost more.  Because of our proximity to productive fishing grounds our run-outs are much shorter (which means more fishing time).

Choices:  There are over two dozen fishing charter boats operating out of Port Canaveral and they range in size from 20’ to 60’.

Captains:  I truly believe that we have the best charter captains in central Florida in Port Canaveral.  They are knowledgeable and conscientious and will work as hard as possible to put their clients on fish.  In many locations, charter captains keep information on fish activity to themselves.  Not here—we readily share information to give our anglers the best possible experience.

Fishing:  The most important reason to fish Port Canaveral is the quality and variety of the sportfishing.  Year round on a typical day anglers have the chance of catching sailfish, dolphin (mahi-mahi), cobia, king mackerel (kingfish), wahoo, grouper, snapper, amberjack, barracuda, sharks and many other species.  We will clean your fish for you at the end of the day and send it home with you.

When planning your Florida vacation, please consider including a deep sea charter fishing trip, and when making those plans check out Regular Guy Charters.
