What goes with Snapper?
Snapper is a broad market category, and the size, skin thickness and firmness of the supplied fish need checking before choosing a technique. Red snapper commonly fills a mild, relatively firm white-fish role, but that description should not be applied automatically to every species sold under the name. Whole fish and thick fillets can withstand a more substantial garnish than a thin tail portion.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Snapper?
Lime, coriander and tomato provide a familiar bright framework. Green mango contributes sour crunch, while watermelon gives a cooler, sweeter contrast to a warm cooked fillet. Passion fruit and elderflower are best confined to a separate dressing or citrus garnish, where their intensity can be judged before they meet the mild fish.
