1 1/2 cup green cabbage, shredded
1 medium sweet red pepper(s), chopped
1 medium green pepper(s), chopped
1/2 medium red onion(s), chopped

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 Tbsp Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning Blends Blackened Redfish Magic, or similar seasoning
Instructions
To make chow chow, in a large saucepan, combine corn, cabbage, red and green peppers, onion and celery. In a small bowl, mix together vinegar, salt, dry mustard, turmeric and sugar substitute; pour over vegetables and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes; allow to cool.
Meanwhile, preheat grill (or coat a large skillet with cooking spray and place over high heat).
Wash and dry fish; rub fish all over with oil. Spread seasoning on a plate and dredge fish in seasoning on all sides to coat.
Grill fish for 4 minutes on one side; flip and grill for another 2 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness and desired degree of doneness (reduce heat slightly if seasoning begins to burn). Yields 1 piece of fish and about 1 cup of chow chow per serving.
