If you had a choice to fry mangrove, red or vermilion snapper

In order of quality it’s red, vermilion then mangrove. I’d cook the red snapper in other ways since it tends to be thicker and flakier with Bette flavor. Grill, broil, bake and season lots of different ways. Mangrove I would cut up and fry. Vermillion I catch so infrequently I don’t have a prescripted method. But it’s very good so you can do lots with it. Sushi is one thing I wouldn’t do...meat is to chewy..flavor not bad but texture is no good

Why do you want to fry it? Skillet, some butter and pan sauté

I’ll do this too. I have a shite ton of each in the freezer right now and want some fried.

mangrove is great fried
cut it into fingers and make sure you cut off all the bloodline etc

Mangrove Snapper over anything but Tuna.
