Red snapper is a warm-water fish with firm, moist flesh and a mildly sweet flavour that holds its own against big seasoning. The flakes are large and stay intact through roasting, which is why it is so often cooked whole, and the red skin crisps and keeps its colour.

We prepare it at the Barnes counter whole and cleaned, trimmed, headed or filleted by hand, scaled as standard or scale on for the grill.

Roast a whole scored fish at 200C for 20 to 25 minutes, stuff the cavity with lime, chilli and thyme in the Caribbean way or pan-fry fillets skin-side first. Escovitch pickle and rice finish it properly.

Origin, cooking and recipe

Origin and species

Red snapper is a warm-water fish with firm, moist flesh and a mildly sweet flavour that holds its own against big seasoning. The large flakes stay intact through roasting, which is why it is so often cooked whole.

How to cook it

Roast a whole scored fish at 200C for 20 to 25 minutes, stuff the cavity with lime, chilli and thyme in the Caribbean way or pan-fry fillets skin-side first. The red skin crisps and keeps its colour. Escovitch pickle and rice finish it properly.

Recipe

The Journal guide to oven-baked fish covers whole roasting fish like snapper.

Storage and preparation

Keep it wrapped on the coldest shelf of the fridge, usually the bottom shelf at the back, and use it within one to two days. If you need longer, wrap it tightly, freeze it quickly and defrost in the fridge overnight before cooking.
