Native to the western Atlantic Ocean the lane snapper is sometimes mistaken for a red snapper. It’s distinctive yellow coloration distinguishes lane from red snapper. Colors varies in a lane snapper from rosy red to a dusty yellow green. Horizontal yellow stripes on the side of the fish with can be masked by horizontal blotching. A dark eye sized spot can be found just below the dorsal fin. It’s tail is reddish with a splash of black.
Lane snapper has delicate flesh with a delicate flavor. The flesh is near white with darker areas just under the skin, but these do not have a strong taste. Use delicate sauces so as not to overwhelm the flavor.
