Snapper, or Tāmure, is without question one of New Zealand’s favourite fish, both to catch and eat. Snapper’s sweet flavour complements its dense flesh, which flakes beautifully when cooked.
Snapper is perfect for grilling on the barbeque or baking in the oven. However, by far the most popular cooking method is pan frying our Snapper Fillets in a little oil and butter with a squeeze of lemon – keeping it simple is best as the flavour of this fish speaks for itself. It’s also amazing smoked. Our Whole Snapper also grills and bakes beautifully.
Mostly caught around the North Island and in the upper South Island, Snapper can be recognised by their rusty-red back and iridescent bodies, making them one of the most eye-catching fish in our waters.
