Which fish is best for grillin?

Thanks for taking our survey on which is the best fish for grillin? Speckled Sea Trout, Red Fish, or Black Drum. All three are great for grillin. However, Red Fish is the fish of choice for tast in my book. I'll eat all three species with Blacked/Cajun powder & butter and wrapped in tin foil to hold juices in while cooking. Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm.

Here's a recipe we received from Patti's brother, Warren:

Red Fish
Ingredients
1 Tsp. white pepper
1 Tsp. black pepper
3/4 Tsp. Dried Thyme Leaves
1/2 Tsp. Dried Oregano Leaves
1 1/4 Tbs. Paprika
2 3/4 Tsp. Salt
1 1/4 Tsp. Onion Powder
1 1/4 Tsp. Ground Cayenne Pepper
3 Sticks of Butter, melted in skillet
6 (6-10 oz) Red fish fillets, cut cut about 1/2 inch thick.
Preparation
Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat (about 10 mins),
until you see white ash in bottom of skillet.
In a small bowl, thoroughly combine seasoning mix ingredients.
Dip each fillet in melted butter so that both sides are well coated;
then generously sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over both sides of
fillets, pressing it in by hand.
Place in hot skillet & poor 1 Tbs. melted butter over the fillet.
Cook uncovered, in hot skillet for about 2 minutes, or until the fillet looks
charred on the bottom (time will vary according to thickness of fillet).
Turn fillet over and repeat above instructions.
Continue with remaining fillets. Serve fillets while still piping hot.
To serve, place each fillet on a heated plate with a side of melted butter.
