Grilled Grouper on The Egg

RobertP

I have been a lurker not a poster, I finally have something to say, had The Large BGE about 3 months, I have a Gasser grill and WSM smoker, haven't used either one since the BGE came on large and in charge, I have learned and read many different things and techniques thanks to the community, anyways my topic, I am located in Florida, Panama City, there is some great Seafood and Seafood Places to eat around here, but after cooking some King Mackerel and then some Yellow edge Grouper, both of them were delish, makes me not want to have to go to any of the local places to eat, Cooked them about 400 deg. between 7 and 10 minutes according to the size with a lemon sliced in halve and face down on the grill, the grill and heat on the lemon does something, it just seems to explode with flavor on the fish, also used used Dizzy Dust and lemon Pepper
Downside was wished I had gotten more later that night.
Oh well next time, Eggin and Lovin it.

Welcome to posting on the forum.

Fish is so good cooked on the egg. Take some pictures and post them. We love seeing pics, and it gives us new ideas.

It sounds like your gasser might become your storage space for your eggsessories.

RobertP,

Welcome. Everybody talks about how expensive the egg is but few seem to take the saved restaurant expense in to the equation.

Welcome, I am with you and Steve on the resturant savings, hardly eat out at all any more!
Have you tried redfish on the half shell on the EGG? It is outstanding. :woohoo:

Did you go out in the Gulf and catch the grouper? With snapper season back open I'm going to try to get out there this week-end. Where did you get your egg? I also live in P.C. Fl.

Hello Capt. Frank

Tell me some more about Redfish on the halfshell as in oyster halfshell or bigger I"m curious!

RobertP

That would have been nice to catch my own fish, but sadly had to catch them at the local fish market, ya do what ya gotta do, but at least I knew I would "catch" what I was going after,LOL.
There's a couple of local markets that are reputable, that way at least it's not so bad paying market price and still cheaper and more satisfying cooking your own, ya don't have to tip the waitress, if it's bad you know who you can blame, and lastly you can't say I won't be going back to that place to eat.
The end
