Subtle, Complex Flavor
They have a great crunch with a buttery finish. They will require "Love" in preparation. A light poach before grilling, roasting, or steaming will ensure flakiness and a buttery finish. These are the perfect species for Ceviche, as they have less oils than a Northern species. The higher oils can cloud the liquids. Poach, Grill, Steam, Ceviche.
Sweet, Moist, White
The Wreckfish is a bottom dwelling large growing species that is very similar to Grouper. The Wreckfish can be found from 150'-2000'. The name "Wreckfish" comes from inhabiting shipwrecks and "Stone Bass" from the rocky ledges. The Wreckfish packs on the moisture for body temperature regulation in cold waters. The species can grow very large all the while maintaining the silkiness and sweetness of Grouper. Prepare larger cuts with moderate heat and the smaller fillet portions more quickly.
