FAQs about whole grouper
Grouper is high in mercury, so you should eat this fish with care. You should eat grouper no more than three times a month. Women who are pregnant or nursing and children may want to avoid grouper entirely.
Grouper are predatory fish and can cause ciguatera poisoning, particularly if they're very large. Ciguatera poisoning is caused by eating fish that have a lot of dinoflagellate algae in them. This toxin tends to accumulate in large predator fish because they are, in turn, eating smaller fish that have consumed large amounts of the algae. The toxin is tasteless and is not affected by cooking.
Symptoms of ciguatera poisoning include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and numbness or tingling in the body. Individuals may also feel hot as cold or vice versa. Symptoms typically go away in a few days but may last for weeks or months. There is no treatment.
You can minimize your chances of suffering from ciguatera poisoning by only consuming whole grouper that's five pounds or less.
Grouper's flavor and consistency are similar to snapper, though snapper is a little more delicate. Sea bass is related and very similar as well. Mahi-mahi is another firm white fish though the flavor is slightly stronger than grouper. Dogfish is firm with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Dogfish is especially good for fish and chips.
