First's are always fun or are at least cool. I filleted my first grouper yesterday. Ernie provided the third hand. A grouper is bigger than anything I've ever done before and was a good learning experience.
It's funny that our book on Fishes of the Atlantic Coast indicates that grouper has only good edibility whereas red snapper is considered excellent. We beg to differ and would put grouper under excellent as well.
We didn't catch this one. The fellows on the docks here caught, gutted, and scaled it. The crew of Iemanja only had to fillet and extract the cheeks. We do not eat fish eyes. The locals do that, but not us Reuter wimps.
(Our apologies to those who might be offended by this post).
