That looks like a fantastic meal, very nice presentation.
What kind of wine did you serve?

Looking for gulf shrimp? go to http://www.crabplace.com/.
I have ordered shrimp, oysters, crabs and king crab legs. The quality is excellent, service is superlative.

Don't remember exactly, but I'd usually pair a mild spanish red with something like this.

Nebe, have you checked Surfhoglures.com recently? It seems to have been shut down

Given that a wild caught striper, caught on the line and eaten within 24 hours is such a special delicacy, I'd prefer it done in a very simple manner to let the fish speak for itself.

Ideally, grilled whole stuffed with lemon and herbs drizzled with some top quality olive oil...although given the size this is easier done with black sea bass which I like even better.

Otherwise I'd pan sear it with the skin on, or perhaps grill a thicker piece served with a crème sauce, a grapefruit burre blanc would be fantastic and I think Cheferson is friendly with a mango version.

This season, if Nebe will catch me a fish I'd like to try some striper ceviche which I have never done.
