Description

Red fish typically refers to the red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus), a popular saltwater fish known for its coppery-red colour, distinctive black tail spot, and mild, sweet flavour, often grilled, blackened, or fried in Southern U.S. cuisine; other “red fish” include red snapper (bright red, flaky, and prized in seafood dishes) and ocean perch (deep-red, mild-tasting rockfish), with sustainability varying by species and region.
