Red Snapper 红鱼

Not your typical farmed fish —— Red Snapper farmed in the Kukup mangrove sea water is only fed with natural small fish instead of artificial feed. Unlike what people expect from most pond-farmed fish, this sea-farmed fish has a fresh sweet flavour with absolutely no muddy taste! The meat is tender but holds together very well during cooking, making it the perfect option for steaming, making curry fish head or fish head hotpot. Kukup Red Snapper is also widely used by restaurants in Singapore to serve at wedding banquets. The taste and texture of Red Snapper and Golden Snapper are highly similar and are often interchangeable in most recipes.

来自龟咯渔村的海养红鱼，在红树林区海水中养殖，并以纯天然小鱼喂养，不使用任何非化学饲料。与一般池养鱼不同，海养红鱼品尝起来更加清甜，也丝毫不带土味。它的肉质柔软，烹煮过程中不易松散，所以红鱼也非常适合用来清蒸，烹煮咖喱鱼头或鱼头炉，味道极佳。龟咯海养红鱼也经常被新加坡餐厅选用来准备宴会的美食。红鱼的味道和肉质，类似于红皂，两者一般上在料理上可交替使用。
