Fried Grouper Sandwich

A common catch along the southern coast of the United States, grouper has a firm white flesh that stands up well to frying. Louisiana’s Creole style of cooking, a blend of French, Spanish, and African culinary influences, adds a regional touch to recipes and there are many variations. This recipe uses familiar breading ingredients and a traditional dressing of creamy tartar sauce.
