BUTTER Butter butter not that fake stuff I'm talking the real thing. Melt you real butter in a sauce pan , then add your seasoning to the butter LOTs of it and some hot sauce. Dip your filets in the butter and drop them on your very hot cast iron skillet one minuet each side and they are done. Try to use your smaller filets so they will cook quick and stay together. Give this a try and I don't leave the skin on to cook them.
