Hello everyone. I'm so glad to be involved in this forum. I love to fish and cook. I hope I can contribute and further the mission if this site.

Welcome! Are you a commercial fisherman, or do you do it for your own fun only? I stayed near Venice once and loved the Gulf, but don't remember much about the fish that were available. What's a standard catch, and how do you like to cook it?

Next time you’re going after grouper, I’ll be there for dinner. Love grouper. And I’ve found it doesn’t travel well.

Hello, @Hooking and Cooking and welcome to eGullet.  I'm familiar with Venice.  My mom and stepdad lived in Englewood and my dad and stepmom lived in Sarasota.  Any trip down there involved going to Venice for a nice dinner and lots of interesting food shopping along Tamiami Trail - including the European Deli.  One set has passed on and the other set has moved back up to VA, so I miss those trips!  I'm very much looking forward to your posts, as seafood is a favorite of mine.
