    Can I cook red snapper from frozen?

    Yes, you can. Run it under water to remove any ice crystals, then bake 12 - 15 minutes or until tender and flaky. Note that some oilier fish, such as salmon or swordfish, should not be cooked from frozen, but be defrosted fully before cooking.
  • Question
    Should the hard shell on the snapper's head be removed?
    Community Answer
    It depends on your cooking method. In the West Indies, the Snapper is cut just to the bone and boiled like soup. When fried or baked, it's probably best to remove the head.
  • Question
    Is wild-caught red snapper from Indonesia a safe purchase?
    Community Answer
    Generally, wild caught is healthier than farm-raised. As long as the fish is fresh, it should be fine.

    Follow directions for sautéing and cook it in a pan on the grill. If you must put it on the grill itself, be sure to oil the grill thoroughly just before placing the fish, or it will stick and be hard to remove.
