    Strawberry grouper is the northern gulf monicker...

    but the same fish. They live up in the tops of our oil rigs and sometimes you can catch a bunch of them against the legs. I usually catch several every mangrove slaying trip. I used to catch them as a kid off the bow of the party boat casting speck rigs tipped with squid up inside the rig. Delicious is right!
