Tony’s Specialty-Baked Groper Bodies

There is just so much meat left on a groper after it has been filleted, I needed to have a cook up and create a recipe, so not to waste so much fish…

Perfect for a before dinner nibble with a few friends and a bottle of white wine…

Baked Groper Body

    Ingredients

  • Cleaned and gutted groper body
  • Olive oil
  • Soya sauce
  • 1x lemon
  • crushed garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
    Method

  • Lay the cleaned groper body on a larger piece of alloy foil
  • Sprinkle the oil, garlic and some soya sauce over the fish
  • Slice 2/3’s of a lemon, place the slices on the fish, and then squeeze the juice of the remaining 1/3 of the lemon over the fish
  • Add salt and pepper to taste
  • Wrap up the foil round the whole fish, so to keep all the juices inside
  • Cook on the grill of your BQ or place inside an oven for about 15/20 minutes

Serve with forks and pick the fish of the bone, the fish will melt in your mouth…yum
