Description
What is Gag Grouper?
Gag Grouper is most commonly referred to in restaurants as Black Grouper (although the true black grouper is a Carborita Grouper). It has a firm mild fillet and is an excellent choice for dinner. It also happens to be one of our personal favorites among all the Grouper species we are able to source.
Not Shipped As Whole Fish
Due to the large size of these groupers, we offer fillets only with online shipping.
How to get the whole Gag Grouper fish
If you are local to the Pinellas County, FL area, and would like to pick up your fish, you may select “Local Pickup” in the checkout however be sure to also make a note: “Do not filet” in the ‘special instructions’ area of the checkout.
Cheeks, Collar, and Wings of The Gag Grouper
If you’d like the cheeks, collar, or “wings” included in your order, leave a note in the ‘Special Instructions’ at checkout (under the Shipping & Payments section). Cheeks are only available with groupers.
Sustainably Sourced Gag Grouper from Florida
Wild Seafood Market is located in West-Central Florida on Pinellas County’s Gulf Coast. Our boats leave the local harbor of John’s Pass and fish responsibly, following all guidelines set forth by The Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission. Going even further beyond what’s required we also ensure each fish we catch is tagged with the Gulf Wild tracking tags. Gulf Wild is a fish tracking system developed by a group of fishing captains who saw the importance of tracking their wild catch. In effect, this program guarantees that the fish you serve was sustainably sourced.
Gag Grouper Price Per Pound
In the U.S. consumers can expect to pay around $12 per pound of whole Gag Grouper fish. Often, markets sell their Gag Grouper as the fillet which usually costs triple the whole fish price running about $35/LBS or more. As the direct supplier, Wild Seafood Market has the unique ability to bring the price of whole Gag Grouper down for consumer-level purchasers. Currently, as of December 2021, our market price for whole Gag Grouper is $10.00 per pound.
Currently, our market rate for Gag Grouper is $12 per pound of whole fish. Please keep in mind however that due to the large size of these fish we will filet the whole fish, and send you the filet. If you were to order a five-pound Gag Grouper, the filet we send would be close to the two-pound mark.

Great place to get very fresh fish and great prices. The catch is you have to buy the whole fish. However they will clean and filet the fish as you like. Bought a 3lb. Grouper and a half a pound of jumbo shrimp for $42. It was plenty for and it was delicious. A great dinner date at home. I will become a regular
