Grouper Hamour (Orange-spotted Grouper – Epinephelus coioides) is a popular reef fish found in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Gulf. It has a thick, firm body with a brownish color and orange spots. Its flesh is white, firm, and mildly sweet, with a delicate flavor that holds up well to grilling, frying, baking, or steaming. Hammour is highly prized in Gulf and South Asian cuisines for its excellent texture and clean taste.
