About Fish, snapper, mixed species, raw

Snapper is a popular family of warm-water fish, the red snapper being the best known, valued for its firm flesh and clean, mildly sweet flavor. It holds together well when cooked, which makes it a favorite for grilling, roasting whole or pan-searing.

It is a lean source of protein at roughly 100 calories per 100 grams, low in fat, and supplies selenium, vitamin B12, potassium and some omega-3 fats. As a moderately sized fish it carries a moderate amount of mercury — less than large predators like swordfish, but enough that it is worth not eating in excess.

Snapper's delicate flavor shines with simple treatment — a little oil, lemon and herbs. As a lean, versatile white fish it makes a light, high-protein meal that works in everything from tacos to a whole roasted centerpiece.
