This is my first picture so I hope it works, but we did Blackened Grouper tonight and it turned out great.  Unfortunately I ate one of the fillets before I realized I needed to take a picture.

    That looks great. One of my favorites is blackened grouper sandwiches. Gonna have to do some again soon.

    Yea, I actually want to do them again in a sandwich.  The recipe was easy too.

    Generous amount of seasoning
    Direct 500 on a cast iron griddle
    Drop some butter on the griddle once it's hot
    3 minutes per side
    And you're done.

    Looks awesome!! Man I love grouper about any way it can be fixed. When time allows, I like to cut strips about 2 inches long and paper thin, batter them and flash fry them. Grouper chips if you will. Again, great looking grub.

    Love me some grouper!  Glad you ate one before the pic, otherwise, you'd be a major light weight with those portions. ;)

    Is it better to eat grouper, or catch grouper? There's a meaty lump behind the head on the dorsal side that I don't tell anyone about when I'm cutting it up... best part of that big boy.

    What seasoning do you use when you blacken it? I like to use paprika/garlic with thyme and oregano - dash of cayenne.

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    When I cleaned fish for a living, we cut the heads off and sold them to crabbers for bait. I took all the cheeks out. I ate like a king. 
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

    Yea, rookie mistake.  I wasn't going to post a picture at all but I took one for a friend who just got a BGE, and decided I'd throw it on here as well.

    @travisstrick I ate the cheeks on the last couple of Scamp I did. You're correct that's just plain delicious!
