About Snapper, frozen, wild caught

Snappers are a large family of marine fish (Lutjanidae) found in warm coastal waters, with the red snapper the most famous on American menus. They have firm, lean, pinkish-white flesh that cooks up moist and flaky with a mildly sweet, nutty flavor, and a skin that crisps beautifully. Snapper is an excellent source of lean protein and supplies vitamin B12, selenium, potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Its firm texture suits almost any method: it is baked or roasted whole, pan-seared or pan-fried with the skin on, grilled, steamed in Asian style with ginger and scallion, or used in ceviche, fish tacos, and Caribbean and Gulf Coast stews. The mild flesh pairs well with bright citrus, herbs, garlic, and chili. Because true snapper is often mislabeled, buy from a trusted source, looking for firm flesh, clear eyes, and a clean sea smell.

Store snapper well chilled and use it within a day or two, or freeze it.
