What does grilled grouper taste like?

Grouper is a firm white fish that is flaky and moist with a distinct mild flavor. It's flavor is similar to grilled bass or halibut.

This simple grilled grouper fish recipe takes 10 to 12 minutes from grill to plate.

A sprinkle of Italian herbs and a little olive oil and fresh lemon juice is drizzled over the fresh grouper. The fish is steamed in a foil pouch in its own juices and delivers great flavor.

Grouper is an easy to make white fish that is mild in flavor and available just about anywhere. If you can buy it local, it's a keeper.

You just can't mess this up!

I used an Italian seasoning, but any mix of dried oregano, basil, rosemary, garlic salt and parsley will do. It's delicious sprinkled on fresh grouper.

How to pick the freshest grouper

If you are selecting grouper from a local fish market, near the shore, use the smell test. If it's fishy smelling, skip it.

It should be moist and first and spring back when you touch it.
Check the freezer aisle. My local grocer has grouper fresh frozen.
Make sure it's liquid-free and there is no frost or ice crystals on the fish.
Check to be sure the fish is wrapped and packaged well.

This grouper recipe with lemon and herbs is light and delicious and pairs beautifully with my Orzo and Summer Roasted Vegetables and a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.

A perfect summer dinner!
