      Cheeks are great for folks who know to take them off too. Fish cheeks come easily off the gillplates and depending on the fish can be even better than the filets. My Korean buddy also invites the family over and roasts whole heads from bluefin tuna. Another one of his restaurants serves tuna collars.
      He takes the bony structure behind the gills off in one piece, salts them and places the big A frame looking structure upright in a scorching hot roaster.
      Afterwards everyone gets chopsticks and we gather around the perfectly roasted tuna collars to attack them all at once.
      Great food, good family fun!

      Parm cheese won't take the taste away from that fish at all. Parm is salty and just rich but not to rich.. I personally don't care for Romano cheese but parm is hands down my favorite with blue cheese coming in at a very close 2nd. The fillets are so thick, that amount of cheese is like a pinch on a cut of meat that size. It would still have the salt water g and taste for sure

      I agree with you. Its lived this long out there leave him be. To be fair to these two meatheads however, that grouper would never have survived them bringing it to the surface then letting it go. It was pretty much dead when they got it to the surface. A fish that size that has lived decades in 400+ feet deep water would have gotten a severe case of the bends. Same thing divers get if they ascend too fast. It has a scientific name but it escapes me at the moment. I don’t bottom fish so i never encounter anything near this size. Im fine catching mahi mahi, snapper and jacks.

    First time I've heard of a brooder sized grouper being harvested from the sea and processed for human consumption. All my prior knowledge consists of black & white photos of them from a century ago and longer, when some of the open oceans largest products were tilled into farming soils. It's a great way to boost soil nutrient content, but failing to eat what we catch is just dumb.
    My only concern with eating larger fish is from past experiences. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the age, species or size of the fish, but there isn't much more stomach turning than finding those stiff but thin, neatly coiled worms in a fresh filet or after cooking.

I personally don’t like it as much on a milder fish, but it does still work. Use grated Parmesan, if you can, and not the powdered stuff. The powder will work, but again, grated or grated yourself, is better. I mix it with Mayo until it’s a thick paste. Then cover the flesh side of the fish 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick with the paste. Bake it at 350° for 30 minutes then put it under the broiler for a few seconds to brown the Mayo/parm mix. Done.
