Mutton snappers are very colorful, with olive green on their backs and
upper sides and a red tinge on the lower sides and undersides. There is
a distinct black spot on the upper back and blue stripes on the cheek
region below the eye. There are two color phases, barred which is seen
when the fish is resting and plain color seen when the fish is swimming. The mutton snapper is a popular game and an exceptionally good quality
food fish. The flesh is marketed fresh as well as frozen and often
labeled as "red snapper". These fish battle hard and can be a very
challenging game fish. At one time, they comprised the majority of the
commercial snapper catch. However, recently their populations have
decreased resulting in a decline in commercial fisheries. IN STOCK and available for immediate delivery. Only $29.95 anywhere in the continental US.
