Goldband Snapper has a firm, moist flesh with a close affinity to the taste of coral trout. These species are very versatile and are suited to cooking either whole or in fillets. These species are often confused with the snapper and, although they can be prepared in similar ways, are best suited to methods and flavours recommended for coral trout. Young, delicate Riesling wines, or even some of the more delicate sparkling styles, such as a Blanc De Blancs (chardonnay bubbly) are suitable accompaniments for Goldband Snapper with their mild flavour and moist, firm flesh.
