Red Snapper

Scientific name – Lutjanus sp.

Red snapper is lean and moist, with a sweetly mild but distinctive flavour. The texture is lean but moist. The superb taste of this fish is evidenced to be the best with just the slightest hint of red, masquerade in the marketplace as “red” snapper. The semi-firm meat is pinkish, with yellow tones, in a raw state. It turns somewhat lighter when cooked.
