Costco's Fresh Wild Whole Snapper is sold by the pound at the seafood counter, presented as a whole, head-on fish that has been cleaned and scaled and is ready to cook. The fish is wild caught, offering a naturally mild, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor with firm, moist white flesh that is delicate yet holds up well to a variety of preparations.

Red snapper is a lean fish that is low in saturated fat and sodium while being an excellent source of protein and vitamin B12. Its firm texture is ideal for baking, broiling, frying, steaming, poaching, or grilling whole. The whole presentation allows for flexible preparation—stuffed and roasted, scored and grilled, or simply seasoned and baked.

As a wild-caught fish, this snapper is a responsible seafood choice sourced from sustainably managed fisheries. Sold fresh by the pound, it should be refrigerated and used within one to two days of purchase for optimal freshness and flavor.
