With its delicate texture and subtle almost, sweet flavor Red Snapper is a favorite of chefs and gourmands around the world! Sourced from the colorful reefs of Central America (and sometimes our very own seas), the average weight for our cleaned fishes are generally two pounds, just the right size for an intimate dinner for two.
Delicious prepared in a variety of ways, Red Snapper makes an elegant presentation on the plate. With its bright scarlet, almost metallic skin, and semi-transparent pinkish hued flesh, this high contrast fish makes dynamic plating a cinch and tastes just as good as it looks! With a mild nutty taste, the Red Snapper is often compared to Porgy. Lending itself to an extensive range of flavors, you can safely pair Snapper with anything from hot chilis to mild fresh herbs.
When cooking any fish whole, there are a few tips and tricks that help you get the best results. Unlike steaks and fillets, fish even the flat ones are significantly thicker in the center, to ensure even cooking and deep penetration of seasoning, be sure to score your fish before cooking it. Two to three slices down the side spaced evenly should be adequate to accomplish both these tasks. Once seasoned, the cavity filled with aromatics, and the outside scored your fish is ready to be fried, broiled, steamed, or grilled, and will render tender sweet and truly delightful results.
Sustainably caught Snapper is a delicious and environmentally friendly choice. Sold singly, our fresh Red Snappers are available year-round, so you get to enjoy the fantastic taste of these delightful fish whenever the mood strikes!
