Snapper Fillet

Fun fact: there are more than 100 species of snapper throughout the world’s ocean! We carry several varieties that are primarily caught off the west coast of Baja California and the southern Sea of Cortez. These include Baja red snapper, lane snapper, silk snapper, and yellow pargo snapper. Feeding mainly on crustaceans and smaller fish is what gives snapper its desirable firm-flaky texture and sweet, nutty flavor that lends itself to everything from subtle herbs to hot chilies. Free free to bake, broil, grill, poach, saute, or steam this fish, as just about any cook method will produce excellent results! Snapper makes great ceviche, too! The Fishery Snapper is highly prized as table fare and is an essential export product of Mexico. Fish are caught by artisan fishermen who still fish in the old ways – from small, day boat pangas with traditional handlines and non-invasive hand drawn nets.
