Great Grouper to me is a fried Grouper sandwich. I call them the Fla version of the Indiana BPT!

Great Grouper @ Deluxe: Wilmington, NC (Marching)

Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:55:13 GMT

Just spent a few days in Wilmington, NC. Most will tell you to eat along the Cape Fear River at the establishments on the water- DON'T!!! Grab a drink & some apps, but save the main course for elsewhere. While the atmosphere is great, there are better places to eat a few blocks away if you are willing to give up the view.

Someone suggested we try Deluxe(114 Market St) for a great grouper dish. Pan seared, over lump crab, red potato and asparagus(roasted). Finished with proscuitto-fennel and bernaise sauce. $27, so not too cheap- webisite claims a "casual upscale," atmosphere. I hate wine, but others raved about the selection. We went for the blueberry poundcake(seasonal) for dessert, and it was terrific as well. Rest of the menu looked great. I suggest you go if in Wilmington- this dish was really, really good. And stay at the Graystone B&B if you want to round out the Wilimington experience.
