Longline

Black Grouper that is caught in the USA South Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico is considered  "Good Alternative"

Grouper skin is very tough and bitter. Most chefs decide to remove the skin prior to cooking. The firm meat has a mild and sweet flavor. It is also a very versatile fish that can be grilled, baked, broiled, or deep fried.
