Grouper Fingers from the Red Frog Pub

[Swampbabe]

I would be surprised if this is really grouper. Retail price here at port canaveral is over 20. per pound, so maybe half that wholesale. Don't see how Carnival could sell grouper fingers for 3.33. Maybe you only get one?

Sure they buy in bulk, lots of pounds. There overhead costs are different from a seafood shop or restaurant.

It may be very good but I would bet that it is not grouper.;)

There are many, many varieties of grouper. I have yet to see one with fingers. I still plan on trying in a few weeks. :)

I doubt it's real grouper, sorry. I don't care how much you buy it's very expensive and very overfished. A lot of restaurants here in Florida SAY they are serving grouper but are really serving a cheaper type of fish.

 

With all the cutbacks in Carnival's food you think they're really serving grouper? LOL :rolleyes:

Unlike NCL, at least Carnival still has lobster.

Doubtful they would be serving overpriced Florida grouper More likely caught and processed in some other part of the world, like their shrimp are.

Most likely it is coming from Sysco.

I was thinking China.

Several restaurants and suppliers in FL have been busted for selling fake Grouper. Usually it's Basia served as a fake Grouper. They should just call it what it is, Basia is actually very good and does taste very similar to Grouper.

Silly question, but if it's not grouper how can CCL call it grouper? If I order a steak, I'm expecting beef.

 

Just call 'em "fish fingers", "fish tenders", "crispy fish strips" ....

If it tastes good, who cares what it's called. :confused:

The same way they can call "Patagonian toothfish", "Chilean Seabass". From the article:

The name "Chilean Seabass" was invented by a fish wholesaler named Lee Lantz in 1977. He was looking for a name that would make it attractive to the American market.

 

Patagonian toothfish

Hubby didnt know they had food for purchase.

 

They had some good football games on all Sunday in the Red Frog. Hubby said he really had a fun time in there. He liked the wings and shrimp and didnt mind the charge.

 

Love the Breeze.
