Welcome back to Eaton Street Seafood Market, where you can get fresh fish delivery overnight and find great recipes for preparing it! There’s no better place on the web to find Key West dining information and ordering fresh seafood online. Our last recipe introduced you to the pleasures of fried yellowtail snapper, but we’re going to change things up this time with an easy-to-make recipe for baked grouper.
Even among the many delicious table fish found in Key West, the grouper stands out as something truly special. The grouper is a lean, moist fish with a mild yet distinct flavor that doesn’t need much seasoning to emerge. The grouper can be cooked in a number of ways, but for this week’s recipe, you’ll be baking it. Although you can use either black or red grouper in this recipe, we suggest you go with the red because of its sweeter flavor.
