THE BEST WAY TO COOK A FLORIDA POMPANO



The Best Way to Cook a Florida Pompano image

The Florida pompano is a mild fish that's rich in taste with firm, white meat that almost melts in your mouth. All you need to bring out its subtle flavor is a squeeze of lime juice, some olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. The ideal way to cook the golden pompano is to grill it with the skin on.
