U.S.-caught black grouper, gag, Hawaiian grouper, red grouper and yellowedge grouper are yellow Good Alternives, but know that some U.S.-caught grouper are on the “Avoid” list too. Always say, “No, thanks” to scamp, snowy grouper and Warsaw grouper as well as black and red grouper from Mexico.

If you’re not sure about the species or source, err on the side of caution because some species of grouper are threatened or endangered.
