Bigeye (Priacanthus hamrur), commonly referred to in trade as Bigeye Snapper, is a commercially important demersal fish widely sourced from Indonesian waters. It is recognised for its bright red appearance, very large eyes, and mild marine flavour.
The fish is processed under hygienic conditions and frozen shortly after harvest to preserve freshness, appearance, and eating quality after thawing. Due to its smaller average size and consistent availability, Bigeye Snapper is primarily traded in whole-fish formats and selected fillet presentations for foodservice and processing markets.
