Snoek is a saltwater fish, prized for its firm, flaky white flesh and distinct, slightly oily flavor. Commonly found in the waters off Southern Africa, snoek has a slender, elongated body with a silvery-grey skin. When cooked, snoek offers a rich, savory taste profile that's often described as similar to mackerel or tuna, but with a more delicate texture. It is a versatile fish that can be prepared in a variety of ways, making it a popular choice for grilling, smoking, and baking.

Fresh snoek is best used immediately. If storing, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it can last for 1-2 days. For longer storage, freeze the snoek. Wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn, and it can be stored for up to 2-3 months. Thaw frozen snoek in the refrigerator before cooking.
