Re: Simple Pan Seared Grouper (would probably be great with most white-fleshed fish)
Maybe the oil content of gag grouper was high too, and I just don't remember it. Its been a few years. I think this photo shows the last grouper I ever shot, when I was in flight school at Pensacola in 1964. I've forgotten a few details from back then.
I don't consider white sea bass to be oily. Would you guys agree? |

I tend to think of seabass as fairly oily. Definitely less so than grouper, though. Last edited by ApneaAddict; 01-28-2011 at 02:03 PM. |

Dammit, can't brothers agree on anything? Is wsb oily or not?
Anyway, I'm going to try that recipe on wsb, probably with the maple syrup, and I bet it will be great. |

I guess it was a gag. Even though my father was a fishing guide and commercial fisherman, we called them black grouper back then. It wasn't until I got on Spearboard that I learned the difference between gags and blacks (aka carbo).
That one weighed 50 pounds as I recall, and it was bigger than any ever caught on my father's boat or speared by anyone I knew. |

Re: Simple Pan Seared Grouper (would probably be great with most white-fleshed fish)
I agree that wsb probably has more oil content than rockfish, lingcod or halibut, so it's oily compared to most other fish we spear. But I wouldn't describe it as an oily fish like I would an albacore or this grouper. Like Carter said, it left an iridescent slick on the surface as he was cleaning it. Unless part of this recipe is marinating the fish in melted butter, that natural oiliness really comes through in the taste.
I think this recipe would be good with fish of all oil contents. E.g. both oily and not oily wsb. |

Omega-3's cover the cutting board every time I fillet grouper/cabrilla in baja. Makes me feel healthy, even if its washed down with tecate's. I agree with the oily-fish hierarchy.
