YELLOWTAIL: WHAT CAN I SUBSTITUTE?
You can use any thin white fish fillet for the yellowtail in this dish. Having wild-caught catfish, hogfish, mutton snapper, mango snapper, red snapper, or mangrove snapper would be amazing.
Roasting thicker fillets, such as Atlantic Tripletail, Sworfish, Grouper, or even Mahi Mahi, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, will make for a delightful meal.
If you’re not in Florida, look for wild-caught cod, sole, or flounder.
THAWING FROZEN FISH:
Yellowtail Recipe:
Put your fish in the fridge to thaw if it’s frozen. Usually, this procedure takes around an hour. Because yellowtail is so thin, it may thaw even faster.
As an alternative, you can run cold water over the fish in a colander in the sink to soften it. But when defrosting the fillets this way, especially if you’re doing it more vigorously, take care not to tear or shatter them.

The Baltimore Sun claims that Gustav Brunn, a German immigrant who began his career as a spice merchant in Germany and carried on with his business in the United States following World War II, was the inspiration behind Old Bay.
Old Bay originated from a spice blend he created especially for Baltimore’s wholesale seafood companies. Since 1939, this flavorful mixture of spices has delighted guests and remains a top choice for seasoning fish, shrimp, crab cakes, and chicken wings.
