grouper cheeks with coleslaw

Florida, USA, is one of the best places in the world for fresh seafood. Local fishermen unload their boats filled with fresh fish, Florida pink shrimp, and spiny lobsters every morning.

The Florida Keys is a great place for fresh seafood. You can find dolphin and yellowtail snapper here. Don't forget to try the stone crab claws with mustard dipping sauce.

Snapper Recipes

These recipes are mostly made with yellowtail snappers. They are easy to catch out back. You can use red snapper or any other thin white fish fillets in its place. Mahi and Grouper will take a little longer to cook, but can also be used. Hogfish, tripletail, and grunts will work too!
