Product Details
Mangrove snapper. Also known as gray snapper — one of the most abundant and widely distributed snapper species in the Gulf. Found from nearshore structure to deep offshore reef, caught hook and line throughout Gulf waters. A fish that's been on Gulf tables for generations. Processed, vacuum sealed, and frozen to -5°F — all within 48 hours of the fish hitting the dock. Frozen Fresh.
Flavor & Texture
Firm, mild white flesh with a clean, slightly sweet flavor. More texture than yellowtail, slightly bolder than lane snapper. Versatile across preparations — holds up well on the grill, excellent pan-seared, and clean enough to eat raw in a ceviche. A reliable eating fish that earns its spot at the table.
Health Benefits
Mangrove snapper is a lean protein source — approximately 20g protein per 3 oz serving. Good source of omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, selenium, and B12. Low in saturated fat and calories. A clean, complete protein from Gulf reef and nearshore structure.
What You Receive
Wild caught mangrove snapper, vacuum sealed in individual fillets and sourced from U.S. Gulf waters. Packages run 5–7 oz, targeted at 6 oz — a full adult serving, bigger than the FDA's recommended 4oz portion. Fillets come scaled, skin on.
Common Questions
How big are the portions?
Portions average between 5 and 7 oz. We aim for 6 oz every time, but because we hand-cut and portion every fish, hitting it exactly isn't always possible — and we never go below 5 oz.
The FDA's recommended serving size for fish is 4 oz. We felt that was a little small for a full meal, so we sized ours up by 50%. The result is a balanced, individually portioned meal.
How long can I keep it in my freezer?
For the best quality, we suggest eating within 6 months of purchase. That said, our fish holds excellent quality out to 12 months.
After 12 months it's still safe to eat, but the quality starts to degrade.
Is there a discount for buying in bulk?
Yes. One of the best parts of buying frozen is that it lets you stock your freezer.
Orders over $200 — use code GM200 for 10% off your entire order. Orders over $400 — use code GM400 for 15% off your entire order.
Are there bones in my fillet?
Every fish is hand-cut and portioned, and we remove the bones — pin bones included — as we go. Each fillet is inspected twice before it's packed.
Even so, a small bone slips through now and then. It happens with hand-cut wild fish, so give each fillet a quick check before cooking.
Why Frozen Is Actually Fresher
Frozen Within 48 Hours
Most grocery store fish is 7–10 days old before it hits the counter. Ours is processed and frozen within 48 hours of the fish hitting the dock.
Locks In Nutrition
Flash freezing preserves the omega-3s, protein, and flavor that degrade in fresh fish over time.
Better Than “Fresh”
In seafood, “fresh” often means never frozen but days old. Frozen right means genuinely fresh.
