THE FISH - The Green Barred Snapper has a beautiful Green, Brown, and Tan color. It has an edible skin that crisps very well. Light flavor, yet a succulence that mirrors Pacific Rock Cod. It cooks to a paper white and is versatile in application. Green Barred Snapper is a great substitute to more expensive white flakey fish.
