I have caught and eaten enough grouper to know what grouper is supposed to look and taste like; recently, I ordered grouper in one of our better local restruants and what they served was not grouper. I asked to speak to the manager and he offered to exchange for something else, explaining, "We bought it for grouper!" If he was willing to be that upfront with me then I am willing to accept his explanation - and I still want grouper when I order grouper.
