Grouper Cheeks
Wild Caught · Gulf Coast USA · Frozen Fresh
$10.00 / per package (4oz)
Product Details
Grouper cheeks. Two per fish, small yield, and some of the tastiest meat we pull off our products — this is the cut regulars ask for by name. Pan sear a package as an appetizer ahead of the main course, or serve it as the whole plate. Dense, sweet, and built for a hot pan.
What You Receive
Wild caught from all of our grouper species — gag, red, scamp, snowy, yellowedge, and Kitty Mitchell. Grouper Cheeks are vacuum sealed in individual portions. Packages run 4 oz, roughly 7–10 cheeks depending on size.
Common Questions
How big are the portions?
Each cheek package is sold as a 4 oz portion — that averages 7–10 cheeks, depending on their size. The cheek is the small, round muscle from behind the fish's cheek: one of the best-eating cuts on the whole fish — tender, mild, and scallop-like in texture.
How long can I keep it in my freezer?
For the best quality, we suggest eating within 6 months of purchase. That said, our fish holds excellent quality out to 12 months.
After 12 months it's still safe to eat, but the quality starts to degrade.
Is there a discount for buying in bulk?
Yes. One of the best parts of buying frozen is that it lets you stock your freezer.
Orders over $200 — use code GM200 for 10% off your entire order. Orders over $400 — use code GM400 for 15% off your entire order.
Are there bones?
No. Cheeks are naturally boneless — a single clean muscle, so there's nothing to pick out. Just thaw, cook, and eat.
Why Frozen Is Actually Fresher
Frozen Within 48 Hours
Most grocery store fish is 7–10 days old before it hits the counter. Ours is processed and frozen within 48 hours of the fish hitting the dock.
Locks In Nutrition
Flash freezing preserves the omega-3s, protein, and flavor that degrade in fresh fish over time.
Better Than “Fresh”
In seafood, “fresh” often means never frozen but days old. Frozen right means genuinely fresh.
