A mild to medium sweet flavoured fish, with firm white flesh and a low oil content. Snapper are easy to fillet, and the bones are large, and easily removed. A very versatile fish, for pan frying, barbeques, grilling or broiling, steaming and baking. Seaperches are medium-priced finfish. Most seaperches have superb white flesh and a delicate, yet generous, flavour. They can be prepared in a wide range of ways including grilling, poaching, deep frying, shallow frying, baking and steaming. Simple pan-frying allows for a range of different flavours and textures to be utilised. Sea Perches are often large, but the smaller fish are excellent baked whole (gilled and gutted). When raw they have a translucent cream, very slightly pink flesh moist, firm with medium large texture. When cooked Medium flake white/cream very slight oyster coloured flesh moist/juicy, flaky, firm but succulent flesh (stays that way); sweet rich moderate to strong chicken/meaty fish flavour of the sea. Exceptionally good eating fish.
