What Is Yellowedge Grouper?

Yellowedge Grouper is a deepwater grouper as well as the mildest, sweetest grouper. Due to summer closures in shallow water, our boats fish in deeper waters making yellowedge usually available June-September. During the rest of the year, deepwater trips are more sporadic, so get this grouper while you can!

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.
