What can I expect if I catch one?
Catching a Red Grouper means you’re in for a strong, steady fight with hard headshakes and deep dives. They are aggressive predators that prefer to ambush prey near reefs, ledges, and rocky bottoms. While not as strong as Gag Grouper, Red Grouper still put up a tough fight and taste amazing!
Can you eat them?
It’s highly sought after for its mild, sweet flavor and firm, flaky white meat. It has a mild, slightly sweet, and clean—less "fishy" flavor than mackerel or tuna. Its meat is firm, flaky, and moist—similar to Snapper, Halibut, or Gag Grouper.
How far out do we need to go to catch them?
Red Grouper are primarily an offshore species, so you’ll need to head out at least 20-50+ miles into the Gulf of Mexico to find them. They prefer hard-bottom areas, natural ledges, and deep reefs.
