My Beach Grouper

This recipe came about from trying different ways to prepare grouper. Taking a little of this and then some more from other recipes, I came up with this one that is our favorite. We really enjoy the taste of this and especially the extra crispness when it is finished in the broiler. Yes, you can just bake it if you don't like using a broiler. Paprika may be substituted for Old Bay Seasoning. Note: If broiling, Do NOT omit the mayonnaise as it prevents fish from being dry.
