What can I expect if I catch one?
Hooking a Red Hind Grouper is an exciting catch, especially if you're fishing around rocky reefs, ledges, and wrecks. While they are smaller than Gag or Red Grouper, they still put up a strong, aggressive fight for their size. They are a great species for kids to catch! They are smaller, fight hard but not too aggressively, and are usually found in shallower water, making them an excellent target for young anglers.
Can you eat them?
Red Hind Grouper is delicious and highly prized for its mild, flaky white meat. It is one of the best-tasting smaller grouper species, making it a great fish for eating. It is similar to Red Grouper but a bit sweeter.
How far out do we need to go to catch them?
Red Hind Grouper are primarily a nearshore and offshore species, preferring rocky bottoms, ledges, and reefs. Fortunately, you don’t have to go as far out as you would for larger grouper species like Gag or Red Grouper.
