was frying catfish fairly often until we got a batch of bad fishy catfish that kind of put an end to that for now.
Grouper is expensive for a couple of reasons. First, most of the fishery is closed to harvest. Second, the remaining species are somewhat depleted resulting in a limited supply and demand for grouper is high.

Roughy was similar in texture to grouper. Hmmm . . . fresh Mahi is really tough to beat.

Some of the snappers are really good if you can get them in your area.

If you want a good grilling inshore fish, try redfish. Leave the skin on brown the filet briefly then flip to the skin side to finish cooking. I prefer it blackened, but it would also be good prepared in most other ways you would make something like roughy or grouper.
