Is the Mangrove Snapper good eating. I have been told that they were better than trout. I find that hard to beleve. Question

I guess I'm in the minority since most seem to have a trout fetish, but yeah I like those mangroves better but pick a nice *fried* slot red over both. Very Happy

Like all snappers, mangroves are really good. They are the perfect type of fish to bake/grill whole (gilled and gutted, head and tailed of course). Dont doctor it up, dont play with it. Just a little butter, salt and pepper. White flaky meat.

Alright, now I am hungry.... Razz

Those Mangroves are excellent just about any way you can fix them. I know it is just a personal preference but I'll take them over Trout any day of the week. Also, like Frayed I'll take a Red any day over Trout also but those Mangroves are good stuff. I'd rate Mangroves, small Grouper and Pomps at the top, with Reds close behind.

Mangroves are excellent table fair. IMO, better than Red Snapper, and certainly as good as trout. In the end I eat them all, I am not that picky and certainly enjoy a variety of fish and preparations.

One of these days I will try one. I am not much of a fish eater. That is why I will mostly catch and release. Well mostly I don't catch and then don't have to release. I have no problem catching, cleaning and cooking a fish for someone else.

How's your cooking? If it works out like you say your fishing does, maybe that's why you're not much on fish! Laughing
