red snapper

Gulf catch, grilled

Red snapper is a prized fish found in Atlantic and Gulf waters, known for firm white flesh with a mild, slightly sweet flavor.

The name comes from its reddish-pink skin.

Red snapper is popular in restaurants and fish markets, often grilled, baked, or fried whole: We ordered the red snapper with lime and cilantro.
