red snapper throats, do not throw away

With the limit on red snapper at 2, the manner in which you fillet the fish can add a lot of value. the throat on a large snapper contains a real treat. The two sides when fried are a delicate morsal.

I do agree collars are great but really only worthwhile on big fish....but come on. Snapper fisherman know 2022 has a 3 fish limit in Louisiana.
ETA: sometimes I forget there are other states. Ha

Throats are pretty good from a number of different fish species. Redfish throats cook up well

Venice marina's fried snapper throats are the GOAT.

“Snapper cheeks” mangroves and groupers as well.
If you really want a treat make“spiders” . 16-20 shrimp heads, pull the head off clean the fat off the bottom. You end up with a small meaty morsel with the legs attached.
When fried they look like spiders but taste like soft shell shrimp

eating fish throat? what is this, china?

Had my first ones grilled last month after a trip. Lemon pepper/butter and cajun/butter were the two options.
When it was all said and done, I'd eaten one of each.
As other said, we only took them off the snapper that were over 20 pounds.
They are delicious and I'll never throw another one away.

They're definitely worth the work on the bigguns.

The cheeks are the best meat, but reds don't have much to work with. Mangroves on the other hand have a Chicky Nuggy of the Gods on each side of their face.

a big pair of tin snips or poultry shears makes quick work of removing the throats. I like to scale the the throat first before excision

I’ve got too much red snapper in the freezer already
A grouper throat on the other hand is definitely worth saving. I’ll serve the cheeks as an appetizer if we catch a few of them. It’s like a large ocean scallop in size and the texture is closer to chicken than fish

neck roast is the best part of the deer for making gravy. even from a big mature rutting buck. slice 1" with the bone in. dats fiya dude

IMO small redfish collars are better snapper collars. I’m talking 16-30” fish. So good
