Red Grouper Filets-1 lb

Red grouper runs a little richer than black, and it is the one we point people to when they want a filet that holds together on the grill. Filets are oval to oblong, roughly 6 to 12 inches long. Raw, the flesh is a pale pinkish-white with red edges and marbling running through it — firm, medium-to-large flakes and a moderately oily texture that carries a mild, delicate flavor. Cooked, it turns opaque white and flakes apart clean. Pan-fry, bake, broil, grill or poach Takes a crust well — try panko, or Cajun spice Finishes beautifully under lemon butter Cook to an internal temperature of 145°F Sold by the pound Caught by Keys fishermen and spearfishermen, filleted and packed in the Keys.
