Red Snapper

Red Snapper is a medium-sized fish caught in the deep waters around the Caribbean in Windrose. It is a Fishing pickup that processes into Fish Fillet, the universal cooked-fish ingredient used in dozens of Cooking recipes.

Flavor: Its scales blaze like a burst of fire from a ship's cannon.

How to Catch

Red Snapper is caught with a Fishing Rod in deep water tiles. Deep-water fish bite while you are anchored over open ocean tiles, beyond the surf line that surrounds each island. A reliable spot is anywhere your ship can drop anchor in pure blue sea — fish appear in a rolling rotation that includes the Mackerel, Barracuda, Bluefish, and Red Snapper among others.

Bait quality and rod tier raise the catch rate but do not affect which species bite. Higher-tier rods have shorter cast times and better tug response, which matters when several bite windows overlap on a busy fishing trip.

Uses

The primary use is processing into Fish Fillet at a kitchen Cookware station. Fish Fillet stacks high and feeds into recipes like Fish and Tostones, which sit at the top end of food buffs. Selling raw is generally a poor option compared to filleting first.

Tips

Red Snapper weighs 0.4 kg per fish and stacks to 5. A full deep-water session can fill multiple stacks; bring extra inventory space or fillet on the deck.
