How to Cook Cobia

Broil, sauté, or grill cobia for a meaty, buttery fish that takes well to any quick-cook method.

To Thaw

For best results, thaw before cooking by placing the cobia package in the refrigerator for 8-10 hours or overnight.

To Broil

1. Preheat broiler on high for 10 minutes.
2. Position oven racks two rungs down from the top for even cooking.
3. Brush a broiling pan with olive oil so fillets don't stick.
4. Season fillets with salt and pepper, place on the broiling pan, and slide into the oven.
5. Broiling should take 5 minutes or less. Once the first side is browned, flip and cook the other side until browned.
6. Check the internal temp with a digital thermometer — it's ready to eat at 155°F.

To Sauté

1. Season cobia fillet with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Heat olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat.
3. Add cobia and sear for about 3 minutes.
4. Flip and sear the other side for about 1 more minute, so a crust forms on both sides.
5. Remove and serve with cooked vegetables or over rice.

To Grill

1. Squeeze lemon juice over the fillet and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Place fillet on the grill and cook each side 6-7 minutes, until the fish turns opaque.
4. Remove from the grill and serve.
