SNAPPER
Red snappers are reef dwellers that inhabit tropical and semi- tropical waters. They are found worldwide. Imported snapper supplies a large part of the U.S. market. Western Hemisphere snapper imports come mostly from Mexico, Central America and Venezuela.
PRODUCT FORMS
Domestic snapper is almost invariably sold either whole, dressed or skin on fillets.
PREPARATION
The sweet, white meat of red snapper is very versatile. Baking small, whole, stuffed snapper is a standard technique. Fillets can be enhanced by exotic sauces and can be broiled and basted or grilled.
