Snapper are in such abundance up here, it's hard to get away from them. Long may that continue. We do enjoy kingfish with careful preparation - bleeding, ice, vac-packing etc. Trevally is good fresh, and everyone knows that JD are great eaters.
As for the weird and wonderful, octopus and blue/pacific/slimy mackerel are highly valued in our kitchen. None of our snapper heads/frames go to waste. After taking fillets off, I gut/gill the fish and freeze them individually. I bring them in to work when I have collected a few where they are gratefully received.
