Our fresh gulf snapper is an excellent option for those who like a milder fish flavor. However, with the right spice blend, you can also make this fish into an incredibly flavorful meal. Eating fresh gulf snapper is also an excellent way to boost your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids and other vital nutrients. We’ll happily ship our fresh gulf snapper to you in packages that are 1 lb. each.
Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Rub your snapper filets with a mixture of salt, pepper, lemon, and olive oil. Arrange your filets on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
Grilling: Preheat your grill to 400°F. Brush both sides of your snapper fillet with melted butter or olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and other seasonings of your choosing. Grill the fish while covered for 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Pan-frying: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Pat your snapper filets with a paper towel to dry the surface. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. Place the filets in the pan and cook for 4 minutes without moving them. Flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes while basting with butter.
With a meaty texture and a small hint of sweetness, fresh gulf snapper is a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys fish that is on the milder side. But despite being mild in flavor, snapper makes for a substantial eating experience thanks to its firm, meaty texture. Snapper is a lot like other white-fleshed fish, including halibut and cod. It's best to season snapper lightly with spices like thyme, cayenne, oregano, garlic powder, or a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
A 6-ounce serving of fresh gulf snapper contains 35 grams of protein and only 170 calories. It also contains plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and magnesium. Additionally, red snapper provides vitamins B12, D, and E, along with a considerable amount of potassium. Fortunately, red snapper is also low in sodium and saturated fats, which gives it a well-deserved place in any healthy diet.
