Description

Discover why Caribbean red snapper is one of the most celebrated reef fish in the world. Prized for its delicate, flaky texture and naturally sweet flavor, this vibrant fish delivers a fresh, coastal taste that’s both refined and approachable for any home cook.

Wild-caught from the waters of Costa Rica and Mexico, each Wholey order includes one whole fish, averaging around three pounds. You can select your preferred preparation—head on or head off and split—making it easy to tailor to your cooking style. The skin helps lock in moisture and flavor, whether you’re grilling, roasting, or simmering.

Red snapper is as versatile as it is delicious. Stuff it with herbs and citrus for a stunning centerpiece, add it to soups for depth and richness, or serve it over rice for a simple, satisfying meal. Its mild sweetness pairs beautifully with bright, citrus-forward flavors like lemon, lime, or grapefruit.

Naturally lean and packed with protein, vitamins, and essential nutrients, Caribbean red snapper is a wholesome alternative to heavier meats without sacrificing flavor. With Wholey, you can count on fresh, high-quality seafood that inspires you to cook with confidence and creativity!

Grilled Caribbean Red Snapper

Yields: 3 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 – 2 Wholey’s Market Caribbean red snapper (3 pounds total)
  • 1 – 2 fresh lemons
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 tablespoon garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons thyme, finely chopped
  • ½ cup basil or parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
  • ¼ cup cooking oil

Directions:

  1. Make 3 – 4 diagonal cuts on each side of whole fish, to the bone.
  2. Season fish with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Set aside.
  3. Prepare marinade by combining white pepper, allspice, garlic cloves, paprika, ginger, thyme, basil, and bouillon.
  4. Pour marinade over fish, coat, and marinate for up to 24 hours.
  5. Grill each side of red snapper for 1 – 2 minutes over flame, charcoal, or oil.

Caribbean red snapper is done when the meat is white and juices run clear. Serve with grilled plantains, vegetables, or your favorite side dish for a light, delicious meal.
