The right way to clean red snapper

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while providing similar richness.

white wine

🥗Healthier: chicken broth

💰Cheaper: water with lemon juice

Chicken broth adds flavor without alcohol.

Put red snapper and lean snapper in cold water with a little bit of salt and half of a lemon to help kill the rawness and add flavor.

Inspect the red snapper for proper cleaning; note that it has not been cleaned properly as it still has some innards left inside.

Use a pointed knife to remove any remaining innards, digging into the fish to pry them out along the bone at the back.

Rinse the fish under cool water to clean out any remaining pieces.

Check for any remaining scales on the fish and use a knife to scrape them off, ensuring none are left behind for better taste after cooking.

Wash the fish again in cold water to ensure it is well cleaned.
