Jorge Castillo: Pargo is the Spanish word for snapper.
Glenn Lindgren: Red snapper is the most popular snapper in U.S. fish markets. You'll find this delicious fish all over the place.
Jorge Castillo: There are also other types of snapper that many remember eating in Cuba - the Blue snapper in particular.
Raúl Musibay: The Mangrove snapper is also abundant in Florida waters and very tasty! We love to deep fat fry whole snappers the day after a successful fishing trip.
Glenn Lindgren: Deep fat frying produces a very tender and juicy fish with a nice crispy crust.
Jorge Castillo: We give this dish a true island flavor with a delicious mango salsa. Be careful not to overcook your fish – they should be tender and flaky.
