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.
