<fishfyi-fish slug="common-snook"></fishfyi-fish>Overview
A prized inshore game fish of the tropical western Atlantic, the common snook is marked by a bold black lateral line running from gill cover to tail. Pale golden-olive with silvery flanks, it grows to 1.4 metres and ranges from South Carolina through the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean to Brazil, frequenting mangrove estuaries, tidal creeks, and freshwater rivers. Highly intolerant of cold, it cannot survive water below about 12 degrees Celsius, so severe winter chills can trigger local die-offs. Its sweet, firm, large-flaked white flesh is esteemed in Florida and the Caribbean, taken grilled, blackened, or pan-seared. Carefully regulated with seasonal closures, the species is assessed as Least Concern and is targeted on live pilchards and topwater plugs.
