Ruby Snapper

Etelis Coruscans - Onaga

Long Tail Red Snappers inhabit deep waters up to 400m., at which depth they produce a clean and moist protein with a sweet and rich profile. Their fillet thickness allows perfect portioning and a remarkable plate presentation. Their beautiful deep pink to red skin also crisps wonderfully, and deliciously. Their bones provide a rich ingredient for soup stocks, consommes, and fumets.
