Fried grouper sandwich and beer battered onion rings

[Slanted88]

I had never had grouper until aa few years back. I was in FL and was cajoled into a fish taco. Who the hell ever thought of making a taco from fish was MY view. Damn. It was SOO good. Since had sammies and straight up fried. Man..it’s a good fish. Ain’t no lake perch or walleye, but...Mmm...

Catch Mr. Grouper in the Gulf...you stand a chance of a shark getting it...well at least you can eat the cheeks...

cheek meat is the best. not many know of it. Boy child just went to pearl harbor for navy reserve stuff. be there a month. he has been there several times already. and made buds. they have several fishing charters booked ..he say;s fed ex next day if he catchs enough. he works for f x express. very cheap for him if not free. lol. not sure if grouper is there. but dolphin marlin and snapper are there all good eats.

I used to feel the same way... why waste a good taco with fish? But then I tried one... now I love them.

Fish cheeks are the best! Hands down best fish I've ever eaten, anywhere, anytime, was on a small fishing boat in Alaska halibut fishing. We'd pull in the fish, cut out the cheeks and throw the rest in the hold, then pan fry the cheeks in just a little oil with nothing but seasoning salt. Amazing stuff. I wish I could go back.
