Haggens had (Canadian atlantic) tails on sale for $5/ea so I bought 6. Split them with kitchen shears, then devaned and rinsed them. Paula Deen's savory seasoning (kosher salt, granulated garlic, and pepper), and olive oil on top. Place under the broiler until done, just a few minutes. Served it with clarified garlic butter (light on the garlic).



I too worked in a few fine dining restaurants, cook, prep, and so on.
