There’s something special about ending the Tide To Table series with redfish, one of the most iconic inshore game fish in the South. In this final episode my brother Eric and I teamed up with our good friend Captain Jim Isaac for one last adventure on the water. The goal was simple: find some redfish, bring them home and show you two delicious ways to cook them.
If you’ve spent any time chasing reds, you know the thrill. That subtle tap, the rod bending over and the unmistakable bronze flash just beneath the surface. It’s the kind of fishing that keeps your heart racing and your cooler filling. When you’re doing it from the comfort of a Sportsman Boat built for both performance and family days like these, the experience just feels right.
We started the day early, easing out across calm South Carolina water in our Sportsman Boat. There’s something about mornings like that, rods rigged, coffee in hand, sun rising over the marsh. With Captain Jim at the helm it didn’t take long before we found them. The thump of a redfish on the line never gets old and once we had a few nice ones in the cooler it was time to head back to clean and cook.
Back on shore Eric gave a quick lesson on how to properly fillet redfish then we got to work making two different dishes, one pan seared and one grilled. One with skin on and one without. Both are simple, flavorful and let that fresh caught redfish shine.
As Eric and I wrapped up this final episode we couldn’t help but reflect on how special this journey has been. From the low country boil on Goat Island to our mom’s crab dip and now catching and cooking redfish with Captain Jim, every episode has been about more than just food. It’s been about family, time on the water and sharing good meals with the people who matter most.
That’s what Tide To Table is all about. And it’s what Sportsman Boats are built for, creating those moments where fishing, food and family come together perfectly.
Until next time, we’ll see you on the water.
