A treat for the true fish lover...
If you like fish, but have never tried red snapper,
you are in for a treat! Red snapper is found in the mid-Atlantic, Gulf
of Mexico, and the Caribbean. Unlike the white-fleshed,
delicate-tasting fillets of halibut or cod, red snapper has a firm
texture with a meaty zest. Be careful when you purchase it though,
not all fish marketed as red snapper is the real thing. There are
many other varieties of snapper (yellowtail, black, hambone...) and
some merchants may label the fish incorrectly. Also, in certain parts
of the United States, red rockfish is legally sold as "Pacific Red
Snapper." If you are having trouble finding red snapper, ask fish
market specialists that you trust for their help. For a true fish
lover, the extra time it takes to find red snapper is well worth the
effort.
