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.

Both are wild-caught Indonesian fish, delivered as clean fillets ready to cook.

How to choose fresh white fish

1. Flesh — translucent and firm, not opaque, dry or gaping.
2. Smell — clean and mild; strong fishiness means it is past its best.
3. Springiness — the flesh should bounce back when pressed.
4. 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
