Grouper

Store fresh grouper on ice in the coldest part of your refrigerator. If freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag.

Grouper is lean, so avoid overcooking to keep it moist.

Its mild flavor pairs well with citrus, herbs, and light sauces.

Consider pan-searing or grilling for a nice crust and tender interior.

Lemon or lime wedges

Fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or cilantro

Garlic and butter

Asparagus, green beans, or roasted vegetables
