This is not what you think from the title. I know you are picturing the Indian Jones Temple of Doom dinner scene. Sheepshead is considered a junk fish with a strong flavor. How to make this tasty? that is the goal. I went with seasoned breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, and a lot of wine and lemon to get rid of the strong flavor. I hope you like it.
1 pound sheepshead
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Pick the bones out of the sheepshead.
In a bowl mix panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and all the spices.
Coat fish with mayonnaise.
Dredge fish in breading mixture and coat thoroughly.
Heat oven to 350.
Place fish on a Foil lined baking sheet and add to oven.
Bake for 20-24 minutes. Fish will begin to flake.
Serve.
