Comments:
The mutton snapper is a fish of the Lutjanidae family. Largely a Caribbean species, they can be found from North Carolina to South America. In the Florida keys they may be encountered in shallow water, over coralline bottom. It is tinted red in color with backs tan or green, with a prominent dot on their tails. Mutton snapper is considered by most as excellent table fare. Like most of most of the snapper family, the meat is white, flaky and light; and is excellent prepared in a variety of ways.
