More About Grouper 

Grouper are part of the large sea bass family. They are large, solitary, predatory fish that inhabit rocky, shallow waters. Grouper are mainly found in warmer waters from the Mid-Atlantic states and Florida to South America, Central America, and the Gulf of Mexico. Grouper has a mild but distinct flavor. The taste of most groupers are similar, with slight differences in flavor and texture, depending on size, species, and location of harvest. For example, red grouper is sweeter and milder than black grouper. Grouper is very forgiving, maintaining moisture in the meat even if it's overcooked. This versatile fish can be fried, grilled, skewered, or used in chowders and soups. Larger whole grouper can be roasted. At Foremost, we sell both whole grouper and grouper fillets!
