Swampbabe Posted December 13, 2014 #26 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I would be surprised if this is really grouper. Retail price here at port canaveral is over 20. per pound, so maybe half that wholesale. Don't see how Carnival could sell grouper fingers for 3.33. Maybe you only get one?

Sure they buy in bulk, lots of pounds. There overhead costs are different from a seafood shop or restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaPeaInn Posted December 13, 2014 #28 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It may be very good but I would bet that it is not grouper.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.capitan Posted December 13, 2014 #29 Share Posted December 13, 2014 There are many, many varieties of grouper. I have yet to see one with fingers. I still plan on trying in a few weeks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it's real grouper, sorry. I don't care how much you buy it's very expensive and very overfished. A lot of restaurants here in Florida SAY they are serving grouper but are really serving a cheaper type of fish. With all the cutbacks in Carnival's food you think they're really serving grouper? LOL :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely it is coming from Sysco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fla Senior Posted December 15, 2014 #35 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Several restaurants and suppliers in FL have been busted for selling fake Grouper. Usually it's Basia served as a fake Grouper. They should just call it what it is, Basia is actually very good and does taste very similar to Grouper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising4 Posted December 15, 2014 #36 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Silly question, but if it's not grouper how can CCL call it grouper? If I order a steak, I'm expecting beef. Just call 'em "fish fingers", "fish tenders", "crispy fish strips" .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out to sea! Posted December 15, 2014 #37 Share Posted December 15, 2014 If it tastes good, who cares what it's called. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just call 'em "fish fingers", "fish tenders", "crispy fish strips" .... The same way they can call "Patagonian toothfish", "Chilean Seabass". From the article: The name "Chilean Seabass" was invented by a fish wholesaler named Lee Lantz in 1977. He was looking for a name that would make it attractive to the American market.

Cruzinbabe06 Posted December 15, 2014 #39 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hubby didnt know they had food for purchase. They had some good football games on all Sunday in the Red Frog. Hubby said he really had a fun time in there. He liked the wings and shrimp and didnt mind the charge. Love the Breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
