A fair sized snapper was in my front yard a few weeks ago. His shell was 15 inches long and 12 inches wide. I did not waste any time dressing him out and probably made my share of mistakes, seeing as how it was my first. My neighbor downloaded some instructions, with photos, and I used them for reference. He was one tough SOB and resisted every cut, right to the last morsel of meat I removed from his carcass. It was kinda spooky. The pieces of meat were still twitching in the Pyrex bowl! VERY tasty, though. My neighbor made a soup out of it and the meat was very tender.
