This steamed lapu-lapu with mayonnaise has been on my to-do list since last Christmas, but I couldn't find fresh grouper big enough for the recipe until the holidays passed. Imagine my delight when I finally chanced upon ones that are upward of 3 to 5 pounds in size at our neighborhood Asian mart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They weren't exactly cheap at $5.99 a pound. I almost choked, coughing up twenty-five dollars for my fish at the checkout counter. But, oh my, was every morsel worth the stiff price!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
