Cajun grilled Tilapia

The last couple of times I made fish it didn't taste good. My brother The Cook thinks it may be because the market people may be thawing frozen fish and selling it as fresh. So I stopped buying fish from that particular store. I got Tilapia fillets from Costco today and I wanted to make Cajun seasoned grilled tilapia. Since I did not have any store bought seasoning hence I searched for the recipe and made the Cajun seasoning myself and it turned out pretty good. The original recipe is from Allrecipes website . I did not add salt to the mix and also the red pepper flakes. So that I CBS make my fish/ chicken with how much salt and spice I want
