Jeannette quiones-cantore red snapper is one of my favorite types of fish, no matter where i have it-either making it at home for myself or eating out at one of the coastal restaurants in puerto rico. I like to sit down and completely experience its sabor, whether cooked al ajillo (with oil and garlic), breaded, stuffed with lobster and shrimp, simply fried or entomatado-fried, then dressed in a seasoned tomato sauce. One of the virtues of red snapper is that when frying, it doesnt absorb the oil. This makes this fish perfect for breading; it will always stay crunchy on the outside with a juicy, tender inside, ideal for preparing in a variety of dishes.
