Gag
Grouper (Mycteroperca microlepis) The brownish-gray
body of the gag is covered with thin, dark, wormlike markings
often grouped in blotches that give the fish a marbled look.
Its pelvic, anal, and tail fins are dark; the anal and tail
fins have a white outer margin. Although it may reach 3 feet
and 70 pounds, most are much smaller. The gag is often erroneously
identified as a black grouper.
