Notes
Storage & Leftovers
While fish is enjoyed best fresh, you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat carefully in the oven or microwave only enough to warm it or you risk making it tough and overcooked.
Freezing
I would not recommend freezing the cooked grouper. I would thaw out hard and chewy.
