Look for snapper that smells fresh like the ocean and has clear, red eyes, clean gills, and moist, shiny, tightly adhering scales.
Refrigerate fresh red snapper and use it within two days, or freeze it and use within six months.
While a simple preparation of red snapper featuring your favorite seasonings will provide a memorable meal, its delicate flavor pairs especially well with strong flavors such as chilies, spice rubs, and tropical fruits.
