My favorite for that is Seagrove Market Grill on Hwy 395 just north of Hwy 30A.  It's great for lunch.

We are a grouper group, too! In fact our grown son has rated the grouper sandwiches in SoWal. I'm not sure of his official order but I'll try:

Yianni's in Seagrove...huge sandwich w/lots o'fish...enough for two
Busters across from Outlet Mall...fresh and hot and television to boot
Seagrove Market Cafe...great sandwich and gotta love the atmosphere
the old Shades in Seaside...sorry, they closed this year.

You will love these places...prices are very fair...let us know your favorites!
