Well, the Kingklip of the Gulf of Mexico and Southern Atlantic is actually a Bearded Brotula, but that name won't sell specials. So Kingklip emerged the same way Orange Roughy replaced Slimehead. The Brotula is family of its own with a flavor and texture that is extremely similar to Grouper. Often called "Poor Man's Grouper", the Kingklip is a fish that inhabits great depths and often packs on "fat" to regulate body temperature. As we know, this is a great asset to food fish. A rich diet of crustacean, mollusks, and other invertebrates give the Kingklip a sweetness that is often lacking in species that feed primarily on other fish. Kingklip is a diverse ingredient that lends itself to a multitude of preparations. Its close textural comparison to Grouper, and even larger Snapper, allows many of the most popular applications to easily transpose onto the use of Kingklip.
