The 3 staples of good eating fish. There was a open air seafood joint in St. Marks, FL that had a great fried grouper sammich.The idea of ordering a fish sandwich at most of those places makes me want to vomit.
Side note: Shrimp Dock in Knoxville makes a mean shrimp, oyster, or fish po boy with fresh seafood, and it's delicious and quite reasonable.
Otherwise, I can blacken or grill some grouper, snapper, or cobia from there myself.
I miss the trucks on the side of the road with coolers full of grouper from my St Pete/Tampa days.The 3 staples of good eating fish. There was a open air seafood joint in St. Marks, FL that had a great fried grouper sammich.
My personal favorites, out side those 3:
Balckened Red Fish
Walleye/Sauger
Trout/Salmon
Pompano (Was so good as a kid vacaying in FL, I still remember the quality of this gem)
Catfish
Crappy
If I was the only one I was feeding my diet would prob be 70% fish/seafood. I'm totally chill with the red meat consumption being venison, but wife only eats the jerky. I did sneak in a 50/50 mix in the burgers recently. She's not as good at detection as she thinks. lol. In my single days, the majority of my meat and trout supply was self provided. Freezing fish in water basically preserves the hook to plate flavor.
Back in the day visiting PCB area, you would pass ice carts set up on the side of the road like road side veggie stand selling fresh shrimp catches of the day at really good prices. We'd get several bags on the way out. Last trips to PCB over last 6 years, I noticed those don't seem to exist anymore.
But, I digress. You brought up Grouper anyways and I got hungry.

There is Shrimp, and then there is Royal Reds. Whole different level of shrimp.Also, a bit of an FYI: Shrimp Dock often has Royal Reds, but you have to know to ask for them.
