Flavor Profile
Scarlet snapper is one of 17 types of snapper harvested from the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and South Atlantic waters. While snappers vary in size, color and shape, their flavor profile is fairly similar. Snapper is lean with a firm texture and mildly sweet taste. The meat may be tinted pink or grey, depending on the skin color of the snapper.
Cooking Tips & Recipes
These whole Snapper are dressed (scaled & gutted), so little prep work is required to cook. Simply rinse and pat the fish dry, then use a knife to cut a few slits across the top of the fish (score the fish). Slits should be about an inch apart and only cut through the skin, not the meat.
If roasting your whole Snapper, brush the outside and inside of your fish with oil. Typically recipes suggest stuffing fish with aromatics such as lemons, garlic and fresh herbs in addition to seasoning with salt and pepper. Bake at 450F for 18-20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily and reaches an internal temp of 145F.
