What is the best seafood rub you have ever tried?

Question

I like to BBQ/grill fish and scallops. What seasoning works well?

Answer 1

Well there are a couple I like: Butter Ponchatrain it is kind of a Cajun garlic butter product and I cook the seafood on foil with a little white wine to keep it moist. I also use a Cajun Blackened that I use on the grill with the foil as the one above or I use butter and pan fry it. Both of the two I find yummy are made by Dan and Bucks. Bon A petite Debbie

Answer 2

Zatarrains makes several that are quite tasty and also have a Crab Boil for making crab. I prefer to keep my spices simple with fish, though. A little lemon, salt, pepper, garlic goes along way!
