One of the most popular fillets at the finest restaurants across America, Grouper makes a delicious foundation for any seafood lover's meal. It boasts a distinctive - though not overpowering - mild to medium flavor.
Grouper is also a very forgiving fish when it comes to preparation. Its large flakes and firm texture keep it moist, making it very hard to overcook.
Did you know that grouper is also one of the most frequently faked fish in the country? World Port Seafood Wild Grouper Fillets are line-caught off the shores of Indonesia in a sustainable fishery and are DNA-verified to ensure they're correctly labeled.
These delicious fillets come individually vacuum-sealed for your convenience.
