snapper

Tropical menu fish

Snapper most commonly refers to a family of edible fish found in warm waters, prized for their firm flesh and mild flavor; red snapper is the best-known variety.

Beyond the fish, snapper can mean anything that snaps—a snapping turtle, a party favor that pops when pulled, or a person who speaks sharply.

In American football, the snapper is the center who snaps the ball to start a play.

We ordered the grilled snapper with lime butter.
