If it was me I would grill it whole. Cut some slits and season.

Meal looks excellent zippy! Curious if the fish monger sold that fish as red snapper. Though the fish you bought IS a member of the snapper family, it is not a red snapper. Red snapper do not have any yellow on them as shown in the video posted. Red snapper is the king and commands a premium price because it is the firmest flesh of the snapper species. Close second is the mangrove snapper and the cubera snapper. I'm just looking out for you bud and hoping you did not pay too high a price for the fish....
My personal favorite is the vermillion snapper. Can keep 10 per man and once you find them, they are usually there in the thousands and eat voraciously. Once you get them biting, you can load the boat with them in short order! Sweet meat!
