Recipes Seafood Fish Cajun Blackened Redfish 4.5 (82) 69 Reviews 11 Photos This delicious blackened redfish (also called red drum) is quick and easy to prepare. I created this recipe when I was 14 years old and it's still one of my favorites. It's best to use fresh-caught redfish, but you can use frozen too.
