| The red-spotted grouper is the fish at the top red hand corner. |
They have a stout body and a large mouth. They do not have many teeth on the edges of their jaws but have large tooth plates to crush their food. Their mouth and gills are very powerful, which can suck their prey from a distance.
Their meat is firm with heavy flakes but still remains moist even after cooking, with a mild flavour it can be use to cook an Indonesian & South Indian fusion dish: Red Grouper Curry (Gulai Kerapu)

The fish is being browned on both sides and aromatic spices and herbs are added like turmeric, galangal and green chilies.
Cocnut milk and stock will be then added with assam to finish off the dish.
