Red snapper vs barramundi: which to choose
- Red snapper — firm, slightly sweet white flesh that holds together well. Great for grilling whole, pan-frying fillets, steaming, and Balinese-style ikan bakar.
- Barramundi — buttery, mild and forgiving, with large flakes. Excellent for pan-searing skin-on, baking, and curries. A favourite in restaurant kitchens because it is hard to overcook.
Red snapper is wild-caught; barramundi is farm-raised in Indonesia. Both are delivered as clean fillets ready to cook.
How to choose fresh white fish
- Flesh — translucent and firm, not opaque, dry or gaping.
- Smell — clean and mild; strong fishiness means it is past its best.
- Springiness — the flesh should bounce back when pressed.
- Cold chain — buy from a supplier who keeps fish properly chilled from catch to delivery.
Cooking snapper and barramundi
- Pan-sear barramundi skin-side down for crispy skin
- Grill snapper whole or as fillets over high heat
- Steam with ginger, soy and spring onion
- Bake in foil with herbs, lemon and olive oil
