About Pargo

Pargo, commonly known as red snapper, is a nutrient-rich fish popular in Latin American, Caribbean, and seafood cuisines worldwide. This mild, slightly sweet fish is prized for its flaky texture and versatility in dishes like ceviche, grilled entrees, and hearty soups. Packed with high-quality protein, Pargo is also a great source of essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and selenium, which support heart health, immune function, and brain development. It is low in saturated fat, making it a heart-friendly protein choice. However, as with many seafood options, consumers should monitor their intake due to possible mercury levels in certain varieties. When sourced sustainably, Pargo can be a delicious and healthful addition to a balanced diet, offering flavor and nutrition in every bite.
