Grouper
Fruge Seafood is featuring black grouper this week. Found in the waters of Costa Rica, the grouper belongs to one the largest fish families in the sea, the sea bass family. The most popular being red grouper (found in most markets/restaurants), but there is also black, yellow edge, scamp and snowy grouper found in limited quantities. The grouper fish has a mild but very unique flavor, somewhat of a cross between bass and halibut. Grouper meat cooks up very firm, with big flakes and holds its moisture better than many other fish.
