Wild Red Snapper
Red snapper, also known as Al Hamra in Arabic is among the most popular of white fish. It is naturally found all over the world. Red snapper has a firm texture and a sweet, nutty flavour that lends itself well to everything from hot chilies to subtle herbs. Whole red snapper can be broiled, grilled, pan-fried, steamed, baked or deep-fried. Fillets are good pan-fried or steamed. Red snapper is also a fine ingredient in fish stew, such as cioppino.
Red snapper is a low-calorie, high-protein fish that contains all nine essential amino acids. It also contains Vitamins D and E, the minerals magnesium and selenium, and is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.
