I agree with Todd, especially when guides and charter skippers misuse the terms. They really should know better. There are about a bazillion fish around the world that folks call a "Red Snapper". But our Yellow Eye rockfish is not a snapper, nor IMHO is it any tastier than the others.

In fact the real bigguns are often wormy and woody. I know Im right because I often fish with Sebastes, and he really did write the book on rockfish.

But because I fear death by fire, Dan is right.
