 Red Snapper is indeed a fish and very tasty, but the meat in Snapper Soup
is Snapping Turtle. There is a story, perhaps apocryphal, that some RC
bishop once proclaimed that it was permissible to eat on Fridays in Lent
because he liked it so much. Hard to say where a reptile falls if mammals
and birds are forbidden foods, but fish are allowed. I wonder if frogs legs
are permitted.
