Canadian Pacific Red Snapper is a name used for several varieties of Rockfish. Ask your fishmonger what kind of rockfish when you purchase and do a little research to learn about each one you try. This is a firm, clean, delicately flavoured fish that holds up to the light battering very well. One fillet is ample per person.
