Cuisine & Edibility

Common Snook

Sweet, firm white flesh with a mild, clean flavor; low fat and large flakes. Highly regarded as table fare in Florida and the Caribbean; excellent grilled, blackened, or pan-seared.

Plecostomus

Not consumed — ornamental algae-eating catfish kept as a natural tank cleaner; widely popular in freshwater aquariums for its armored body and bottom-dwelling habits.

Species Overview

Common Snook

The common snook is a prized inshore game fish found in tropical western Atlantic waters. It is highly sensitive to cold water and cannot survive temperatures below 12 degrees Celsius. Its lateral line is distinctive — a bold black stripe.

Plecostomus

The common pleco is a large armored catfish native to South America. Often purchased as an algae eater, it can outgrow most home aquariums. Its sucker-like mouth allows it to rasp algae from surfaces and anchor itself in fast-flowing currents.
