Snapper
Snapper is a wild-caught fish and the Costa Rican table classic for the oven, the grill, or a whole fried fish. At Delimar we process it for wholesale in three presentations — whole at 1/2-3/4 and 1-2 lb, a 500-1500 g fillet, and a 170-220 g portion — all scale-on and with FSSC 22000 food-safety certification. Wholesale for restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and distributors, from El Cocal, Puntarenas.

Snapper for the home
Whole, fillet and portion, always scale-on
Whole snapper ships gutted, scale-on and frozen, in 1/2-3/4 and 1-2 lb sizes, either in bulk in a 10 kg master case or in 12 x 800 g, 9.6 kg Master Case. It is the presentation kitchens ask for when they serve the fish whole.
The 500-1500 g fillet is skin-on and scale-on, vacuum-packed in a 10 kg master case. The 170-220 g portion adds the deboning — skin-on, scale-on and boneless — and is handled in bulk at 10 kg or in 20 x 500 g, 10 kg Master Case; on the shelf, that same portion is sold in a 500 g pack.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the snapper come scale-on?
- Yes, in all three presentations. Whole snapper ships gutted and scale-on; the 500-1500 g fillet is skin-on and scale-on; and the 170-220 g portion is skin-on, scale-on and boneless — it is the only one of the three that ships boneless.
- Which snapper presentation suits a fixed-portion menu?
- The 170-220 g portion, which already comes boneless and is packed in 20 x 500 g, 10 kg Master Case, is the one that gives a stable cost per plate. The 500-1500 g fillet suits kitchens that prefer to cut to their own measure, and the 800 g whole fish — 12 x 800 g, 9.6 kg Master Case — when the dish is served whole. All three are quoted wholesale by format and volume.
