Grouper is one of the few fish that I like fried.

This is a lot of fried grouper sandwiches. Getting hungry just thinking about it.

That's a big fish!

I like fried grouper cheeks.

I've seen my share of large grouper diving but that one is a little bigger than any I have seen. Often they like to hideout in wrecks.

I do enjoy fried grouper, especially in sandwiches, but my favorite is blackened.

Last time I caught grouped it was out of Cedar Key, FL with my dad, my uncle, and my brother. We did well and ate accordingly.

Blackened grouper with black beans and rice and some fried plantains. Mmmm

Olive oil or mayo and some Slap Yo Mama seasoning on the filets, on the smoker on a perforated pan at 350, 7 minutes per side, served with wild rice and lemon wedges...

Grouper definitely shines when it is fried. However, I like grouper either Blackened, crab stuffed, or broiled and fried once in a blue moon. I don't eat Grouper all of that often......my preferences go from Tuna (fresh), wahoo, swordfish, dolphin/mahi, cobia, then grouper.....

If you can pick up a few more like that one, you can scramble them.

A beer battered fried grouper 'po boy' type sandwich is good.

I had one in Pensacola, FL where they took this and they put a thin layer of thickened NE Clam chowder on the bun (instead of say tarter sauce) and it was out of this world.

Try “Grouper Monger Style”from “The Fishmonger” restaurant, now long closed. Here’s the recipe from the 80’s . Take a decent portion of grouper salt or season to taste, then alternate overlapping thin sliced sweet onion and tomato. Top with bread crumbs and pats of butter. I cook in the oven at 350 degrees till golden brown. Great recipe for when frying gets old. And grouper fingers fried is still my all time favorite but is hard to find around here.

I've never eaten Grouper, but I'd probably want it fried. It sounds good.

I love fried Grouper, especially if it is preceded by a bowl of fresh Conch chowder. Fond memories of harvesting both on a remote island in the Caribbean (Middle Caicos). Yum. We released the Bonefish and kept the Grouper and Conch.

Preferably with some form of heat...

It's good grilled with something like a pineapple or mango salsa.

Fried for me. Local restaurant in Ft. Meade Fla. has a fried grouper sandwich which is out of this world.

The blackened grouper sandwich at the Navigator up the Peace River for $10 was fantastic, but that was when grouper was cheap. The prices for the last 10 years though have had me choosing other fish.

Best grouper I’ve ever had was at the Izaak Walton Lodge in Yankeetown Fla. on the Withlacoochee River

I'll eat it as fast as you can put it out.
Char-grilled
Blackened
Fried
Baked
Broiled

Even given the marvels of Pacific free run Salmon, fresh halibut, various iterations of tuna and other favorites I've sampled in my travels, perhaps my very favorite all time fish was a grouper sandwich, about 10 years ago in a Tampa Hooters restaurant.

Lightly blackened, or fried
Walked into a restaraunt in Beaufort NC one time, guys runs in from the back and yells "who wants grouper? Just caught a mess, gimme 15 minutes to clean em"

Ordered a big hunk blackened, and some fried grouper bites for the table.

I've eaten a lot of fresh seafood, but that was the best hands down
