Grouper Cooking Tips

The grouper fish has a mild but very unique flavor somewhat of a cross between bass and halibut. It's meat cooks up very firm, with big flakes and holds its moisture better than many other fish. Red grouper has a milder and sweeter flavor than black and the meat of both groupers are very white.

Blackened grouper is a southern favorite, but this versatile fish can be cooked many different ways such as fried or grilled and is excellent to use in soups or chowders. If you do find some large fillets make sure to butterfly them first if you are planning on grilling them. The large fillets will be thick to grill.
