I think the first time I’d ever had blackened fish was at Big Daddy’s Crab Shack on Elgin Street near downtown Ottawa, Ontario. I’d never had much in the way of Cajun food prior to this, but man, the flavour! Since then I’ve tried blackened fish at numerous restaurants all over North America, but more often than not, I was disappointed. It seems that many places kinda don’t understand that a “blackened” fish should be… Well… Blackend!
