Grilled Grouper
Grouper is not as common as tuna and can be hard to come around especially the larger ones. Three main kinds the red, the gag, and the black garoupa are most common varieties caught for commercial use. The whole fish grow to impressive sizes weighing over 180 pounds, though they can be prepared in many healthy meals, their yield of edible meat is not as high. It is usually cut into thick slabs somewhat like steak but when cooked, can easily be cut with a fork. It can be broiled, baked, blackened, grilled, sautéed, poached, or cooked in a wide variety of fish recipes. So when you do get your hands on a fresh catch, consider cooking and preparing it more than the usual grilled or pan-fried fish. Baked fish recipes can be a quick and easy way to cook it too.
