Red snapper is a prized tropical fish with firm, lean white meat and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is popular in coastal cuisines worldwide.
Fresh whole snapper should have clear bright eyes not cloudy, bright red gills, firm flesh that springs back when pressed, and smell like fresh ocean.
Yes, red snapper is frequently substituted with cheaper fish like tilapia or rockfish. Buy from reputable fishmongers or look for whole fish.
Snappers firm texture works well grilled whole, pan-seared as fillets, or baked. Its lean meat benefits from moist cooking methods.
Refrigerate for 1-2 days or freeze for up to 4 months. Look for clear eyes and red gills when buying whole.
