Snapper

According to Britannica, there are over 100 different varieties of snapper, making it difficult to tell what you're looking at when you come across this popular fish. Many of them reside in warm tropical waters and are an important component of the local diet. Red snappers, called after their distinctive pinkish-red color and found in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, are a perfect example. Fish markets in the United States generally originate from these sources, however, it's crucial to remember that the sustainability of the harvesting methods varies, and it has been overfished in the past, as Fish Choice points out.

It's a simple fish to like because of its gently sweet flavor, low-fat content, and moist texture. If you enjoy eating fish that doesn't have excessively fishy flavors, red snapper is a good choice. It cooks the best whole, but you may also get it in fillets for ease of preparation. For a wonderful evening supper that's ready in 20 minutes, try a panko-crusted red snapper dish. Alternatively, a basic snapper Crudo allows you to experience the fish's natural qualities.
