Using of Leftover Grouper Parts

Video Transcript

"Okay, in this clip, we're going to talk about what's left over. What happens with the fish that we have left over after you've taken the throat, the cheek and the filets off the fish, you have a head. Okay, there's not really any meat in this head, but it's got plenty of fish flavor. You can cook these heads. A lot of our customers use these heads for stock, for flavoring. Once again, you boil it down; you can get even more meats off this fish. We also sell these fish heads to crabbers. They make excellent crab bait, shark chum, just about anything you can think of as far as, you know, regenerating or reusing what we've been given here. We do sell these to the stone crab fishermen and the blue crab fishermen and they use them in their traps to catch stone crabs. Nothing goes to waste; we resell everything that we can except for the skin. We sell the throats and the cheeks to the market. We sell the backbones to the market, the grouper backbones. We sell the filets to the restaurant. We sell the heads to the crab fishermen."
