Recipe Notes

Red snapper is such a great meal. This is a very lean fish that takes almost no time to cook and has a clean, fresh flavor. We love simple grilled fresh fish with a bit of salt and pepper and lemon or lime, but the Garlic Tartar Sauce gives this a twist that really complements the taste of the fish.

"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after."
