Red snapper (Lutjanus spec.)

Introduction:

The red snapper is a popular food fish, especially in the USA. The reef dweller lives in subtropical waters. Due to its aromatic, boneless meat, it is also increasingly in demand in Europe.

Use/Preparation:

This edible fish is particularly versatile in its preparation possibilities. It tastes good fried, steamed, steamed, boiled or grilled in various dishes - from Asian to Mexican.

Health:

Like most fish, red snapper provides a lot of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which have a positive effect on brain development and the cardiovascular system.

Alternatives:

There are some fish species that are suitable alternatives due to their texture, taste and ingredients, including mahi mahi, a dolphinfish with a mild yet rich flavour, sea bass, salmon or trout.
