Grouper
Grouper and the entire grouper family have become probably the most popular saltwater food fish in the United States. Grouper is characterized by heavy bodies, big heads, and large mouths. Light and delicate in flavor but very unique, grouper has a medium-firm texture with a heavy flake. Grouper meat cooks up very firm and holds its moisture better than many other fish. Since grouper is a leaner fish you might need to baste it when broiling or baking it.

Rainbow ‘Green’, Golden, and Ruby trout
Green trout is what the guys on the farm call the regular rainbow trout. Since they have ruby and golden as well, it is just a term they use to distinguish between the three. Our ‘green’ trout is what every sales person calls rainbow trout. Red and golden continue to be very tight. The end is not in sight yet.
