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
The general rule for cooking (applies to most fish): Cook at 400F for 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Add 5 minutes if cooked in parchment, tin foil, or a heavy sauce. Snapper responds well to all cooking methods except frying. Substitutions include Grouper, Rockfish and Ocean Perch.
