TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Wahoo, red snapper

Sad to say but I've never tried either of these. Are they similar in taste to other fish- mahi mahi, grouper, or swordfish??

Red snapper is typically a very mild fish. I would compare it favorably to mahi mahi or grouper but not swordfish. While I like swordfish, I think it has a much firmer texture. I have never had wahoo so I can not comment on it.

If you want to try wahoo go to Dinghy Dock. He just got some in today!

My husband is a fish eater, I am not, he loves Wahoo. Mahi mahi is his favorite, unless they have Wahoo.

I saw that on Facebook. Wish I was there.

I have never eaten any of those fish except swordfish. Being from Massachusetts I eat cod and haddock. How do they compare to the previously mentioned?

Speaking of wahoo....down memory lane at Lee's a couple of years ago....the catch from one boat. Lee calling around to restaurants....

That is a 'boatload' of fish, as it were!

the wahoo probably would be the closest to cod. I eat cod and haddock but on island I love the red snapper. One of the best I've had was at Rosemary's in Marigot waterfront near the open-air market. She offered it grilled or fried.

Thanks, everyone! I'll have to try both.

The best red snapper ever has was at Marks. Deep fried and out of this world!

Somehow I always get to Marks thinking I'll try one of the many dishes people here say are "the best" and when I get there RIBS RIBS RIBS takes over my mind! I think I'll try Marks snapper next time to compare to Rosemary's in Marigot. Thanks for that info.

Had Grouper at Chesterfields last week and it was fantastic, and Sunday night had Red Snapper at Toppers and that was also one of the
best I've had.
