I had the pleasure of taking an exciting vacation to Turks & Caicos. Such an awesome and beautiful island. There were lot's of delicious dishes! One of my favorite dish was the grouper fish with mango salsa and rice. What is grouper? Grouper has a mild yet distinct flavor, somewhere between Bass and Halibut. The taste of most Grouper is similar, with slight differences in flavor and texture, depending on size, species and location of harvest. Red Grouper is sweeter and milder than Black Grouper. Grouper is not that easy to find locally, at least not for me. But you can order online I substituted grouper for rockfish is this recipe. You can also choose your favorite fish and make this delicious recipe. Make sure you watch the video for vacation tips and recipe illustration.
