Silk Snapper Fillet, per lb

The yellow iris distinguishes the silk snapper from its close relative, the red snapper, which has a red iris. The two fish are virtually indistinguishable otherwise. Like red snapper, silk snapper is a moist white fish with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It yields small fillets and is sold with the skin on to hold together its delicate flesh. 

If you're interested in whole fish, check out our whole silk snapper, which is cleaned and ready to cook.
