Southern Ocean Red Snapper, also known as Nannygai, Red Bight Fish or Golden Snapper, is wild caught in Australian waters and line caught by handline for premium quality. Different names, same beautiful red skinned fish.

Our Red Snapper is handline caught and dispatched using the traditional Japanese Iki Jime method. This technique kills the fish instantly by spiking the brain, preventing lactic acid build up and protecting the clean, natural flavour of the flesh. The result is sweeter, better quality fish with superior texture.

We do not sell trawled Red Snapper. While snapper can be caught by deep sea trawl, it is a softer, slightly higher oil fish and loses quality with heavy handling. Line catching preserves the integrity of the fillet and gives you a noticeably better eating experience.

Red Snapper has firm, slightly oily white flesh that holds together beautifully. It can be cubed, sliced or portioned without falling apart. Pan fry it skin side down in butter for crisp red skin and moist flesh. Roast it with a simple herb or nut crust. It is forgiving to cook and hard to dry out, making it ideal for home cooks and families.

Snap frozen at sea, you can defrost only what you need. If you want clean, precise cuts for stir fry, tacos or even sashimi style slices, cut it while still slightly firm from the freezer for better control.
