Lane snapper
Lane snapper
The lane snapper is known to occur in a variety of
habitats ranging from coral reefs in clear water to
grass flats and mangrove-bordered estuaries
where the waters are brackish and murky.
They are easily distinguished from other snapper
because of their silvery-pink to reddish color with
short, irregular pink and yellow lines on its sides.
They have a diffuse black spot, about as large as
the eye toward their tail on the dorsal area.
Harvested by commercial fishermen by net in
Bahamian waters, each fish is scaled, cleaned and
gutted then placed in a poly sleeve before being
blast frozen overnight at -20 degrees F. They are
available in four sizes 4-7oz, 7-12oz,12-16oz and
16-28oz.
