American Red Snapper on the menu says QUALITY.

Note: Much of the fish sold as red snapper, a familiar and expensive favorite of seafood lovers for its firm texture and nutty flavor, isn't red snapper at all, Genetic analysis of 22 "red snapper" fillets purchased in eight states revealed that 17 of them--or 77 percent--came from fish other than Lutjanus campechanus. LAF Sells only American Red Snapper as “red snapper” other snappers are sold as the type of snapper they are ie silk snapper, lane snapper, pargo snapper, vermillion snapper
