NOAA finally announced the dates for the Recreational Red snapper season. The dates are August 23rd – 25th so I thought it would be appropriate to showcase a recipe for Red snapper (I can taste it now!).

Captain Rodney’s Corner

If you frequent the beach this time of year, perhaps you’ve seen the amazing sights of free-jumping tarpon, wildly spinning sharks, skyrocketing “smoker” king mackerel and barracudas within a stone's throw of the shore.
