I received a free shipment of Open Blue™ Cobia as part of a recipe contest submission. My recipe will be entered in the OPEN BLUE™ COBIA COOK-OFF CONTEST where I will have a chance to win prizes. I received no monetary compensation for my post. All opinions are my own.
Have you ever tried Cobia?
Cobia is a moist, flaky whitefish that lends itself to many recipe ideas.
This was my first experience with this delicious fish. I found the texture similar to sea bass but not as sweet. I love the way it held its shape through the baking process. I tried cooking a piece with the skin intact and a piece without the skin. Both took about 20 minutes to cook, held their shape and stayed moist and flaky!
The smoky flavor from the smoked sun-dried tomatoes and smoked paprika compliment mild flavor of the fish without overpowering it.
I served my Sun-dried Tomato and Potato Crusted Baked Cobia on a bed of wilted kale with red bell peppers. Delicious!
