Blackfish is my idea of northern grouper, doesn't get much better. You get bigger ones in the sound than we do on the SS for some reason and I'm sure it would be as good or better than the nekid (stripped) bass. We get some nice black sea bass in the lobster pots, gut and scale, score the skin on either side, rub in some olive oil and spices and grill on the bbq until crisp, finest kind.
