Lost my whole darn post!!!!
We arrived in New Orleans yesterday afternoon and had to take a picture of our turnoff -
But, we drove right by the park - bad, bad neighborhood. Found a KOA and settled in. Beat Roy 2 to 0 in cribbage and then fixed dinner.
The grouper throats are delicious. I didn't want to make a mess in the kitchen, so I heated a skillet of oil on the grill to fry one (2 halves) and grill the other just mashed to make lay flat. But, the oil didn't get hot fast enough to do a good job, so moved the throats to the grill and finished them off that way.
My only disappointment with them was the fins/feathers didn't get crisp enough on the grill to enjoy them. So, will go ahead and make a mess in the kitchen next time!!
The meat is a firm, dense but not stringy or tough, white meat and very sweet. If you get a chance, I recommend trying them.
Tomorrow we have some places to visit in New Orleans, but not going to overdo it - we will be coming back again, we're telling ourselves.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
