What can I expect if I catch one?
Scamp Grouper put up an exciting but manageable fight. They are aggressive, strong, and structure-oriented, meaning you’ll need to work fast to pull them out of their hiding spots before they escape!
Can you eat them?
Mild, slightly sweet, delicate white meat. Great for grilling, frying, blackening, or baking. Very moist and flaky when cooked—prized by chefs! – Even better than Red Grouper!
How far out do we need to go to catch them?
Scamp Grouper are mostly found offshore, meaning you’ll need to travel at least 20-50+ miles into the Gulf of Mexico to find them. They prefer deeper, hard-bottom areas, natural ledges, and deep reefs.
