Huachinangos en Puerto vallarta

  • It doesn't look like a red snapper, they don't have the yellow color and dots. This is what a red snapper looks like.

    But you're right in that an online search for Huachinangos brings up Red snapper. Perhaps it is a hybrid or some local variation. I'd be interested to know for sure.


    Dan, is that Ed with the ARS? Cool picture.


    Congrats on a fine catch aguilerajp, they are a great fish.

  • Same fish has different names over the same Country. For sure that's what's going on here. In Venezuela you could find 4 different names for the same fish. I/E: Bonito, carrachana, cabaña, bacoreta, caballa.


    As I can see, these snappers are from the Pacific side. I would love to go spearfishing there one time. :)


    Latin still comes in handy from time to time for this very reason. Here is another American Red Snapper pic.
