Best Florida Black Grouper All Acqua Pazza Recipes
BLACK GROUPER WITH SOFRITO AND ROCK SHRIMP TOAST
Steps:
- For the sofrito: Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat for 1 minute, and then add the celery, garlic, fennel and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the onions are transparent and the celery has softened, 10 minutes. Spoon the mixture into a blender and add the bacon or pork. Puree the mixture, simultaneously drizzling in the extra-virgin olive oil. Set aside.
- For the shrimp toast: Put the shrimp, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, onion, cilantro, salt, cayenne, avocado and egg white into a food processor and pulse 2 or 3 times to finely chop. Do not puree. Put the egg yolks, remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 1/4 cup water in a shallow bowl and whisk to blend. Spread equal amounts of the shrimp mixture onto 8 slices of the bread. Top with the remaining 8 slices of bread. Press together gently but firmly. Heat 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dip 4 of the sandwiches in the egg mixture, coating them evenly on both sides. Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet. Repeat the process with the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and sandwiches. Slice each sandwich into 4 triangles to serve. Keep warm.
- For the grouper: Preheat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the grouper with salt and black pepper. Add the olive oil to the skillet. Carefully add the grouper to the hot pan without overcrowding. Cook until well-seared and cooked through, 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet.
- For assembly: Ladle the sofrito into 4 shallow bowls. Place one grouper fillet on top in each bowl, and then arrange four triangles (one quartered sandwich) of shrimp toast around the grouper and sofrito. Serve any extra shrimp toast on the side.

Steps:
- Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, garlic, fennel, onion, and pepper flakes to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, with a wooden spoon until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Deglaze with the wine and stir, scraping up any bits form the bottom of the scraping. Add the tomatoes, water and capers. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the filets with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Slide the fish filets into the broth and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook until the fish is firm and opaque all the way through, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the lid and spoon some of the sauce over the fish. Sprinkle with parsley, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the broth.
PESCE ALL'ACQUA PAZZA (FISH IN CRAZY WATER)
This classic Neapolitan dish involves poaching fish in a liquid that Marcella Hazan explained as being "denser than a broth, looser, more vivacious and fresher in taste than any sauce." It's made by simmering chopped extra-ripe tomatoes with water, garlic, chile and other flavorings. Once the water tastes like tomato, fish fillets are poached in it. This foolproof method prevents overcooking, so it's ideal for all kinds of delicate seafood. Some think "crazy" refers to the broth's spiciness, while others think the name comes from the fact that fishermen made the dish with seawater (but it could also simply reflect that water is the key ingredient).

Steps:
- In a large skillet with high sides, combine the olive oil, garlic, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes. Set over medium-low and cook, swirling occasionally, until sizzling and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add 2 1/2 cups water, the tomatoes and 2 teaspoons salt to the skillet. Bring to a boil over high, then cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the tomatoes are softened and the water is bright red and tastes like tomato, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Pat the fish dry and season with salt. Lay the fish into the tomato water, cover and cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, 4 to 8 minutes.
- Taste the water and adjust seasonings with salt and red-pepper flakes. If the liquid has reduced so much that it resembles sauce, add a little water until it looks like tomatoes suspended in red-tinted water. Serve the fish and tomato water in shallow bowls, with a drizzle of olive oil and bread for dunking.
RODBENDERS ISLAND SPICED FRIED OR GRILLED GROUPER
Steps:
- In a large bowl combine the adobo seasoning, bijol, paprika, scallions, red pepper, hot sauce, olive oil, and water; whisk marinade together.
- Place fish fillets in a bowl or a ziplock bag. Cover fish with marinade. Let sit for 1 to 2 hours.
- If grilling fish, place over hot grills until brown.
- If frying the fish, pour the flour into a bowl. In a second bowl, combine milk and eggs. In a third bowl, combine cornmeal, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, and salt and pepper. Dredge fillets in flour, then into the egg wash, and finally dip them in the cornmeal mixture.
- In a large skillet heat 2 inches of canola oil. When the oil reaches 375 degrees F., or 1 drop of egg wash cooks and rises to the top immediately, add the fillets to the oil, 2 at a time. Fry the fillets until golden brown. Fillets can also be deep fried.
- Serve with Mango and Black Bean Salsa.
- Combine all ingredients together in a medium size bowl. Mix to blend ingredients evenly throughout.
