Our friend Sam brought over some grouper he caught over the weekend in the Atlantic for us to grill. While he was fishing, he was bitten by a SHARK! He accidentally caught an ENORMOUS SHARK on his line, and while he was trying to free it, the shark leaped out of the water and BIT HIM! BLOOD = EVERYWHERE! (Okay, what really happened: Sam caught a three foot shark, and while trying to free it, he snagged his hand on the hook. Without thinking, he accidentally put his hand in the shark’s mouth, and ended up with a few scratches on his finger. But what good is a shark bite story without a little embellishment?) Sam was fortunately okay. The grouper, on the other hand, wasn’t so lucky.
Ingredients:
1 lb grouper
2 T chili powder
1 t cumin
1 t coriander
1 t crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions:
Heat the grill to high, and let it warm up. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Put the rub on the grouper. Oil the grill grates, and when you put the fish on the grill, turn the temperature down to medium low. Grill the grouper for 10-15 minutes on each side, or until the grouper is flaky.
I sprinkled chopped green onion on it for garnish, and served it with polenta, corn on the cob, and salad.
