Silk Snapper Information

Scientific name: Lutjanus vivanus

• Silk snapper is a warm-water reef fish harvested primarily in Indonesia and Thailand.
• It feeds on fin fish, squid, and cuttlefish around shoals, coral, sandy bottoms, and offshore reefs.
• It is typically trap, hand-line, and bottom long-line harvested at depths between 20 and 300 feet.
• The firm, flaky texture and sweet, mild flavor of Silk snapper rivals that of the more well-known red snapper and is becoming increasingly popular with chefs and purveyors of premium seafood products.
• From ceviche to a simple pan-fry, snapper's adapts well to a wide range of cooking methods.
• One of our favorite meals here at Come Fish Panama.
