If you order "red snapper" on the west coast, you'll most likely get one of these. Yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus), however, are a remarkably poor choice of food fish due to their exceptionally slow rate of reproduction. Amazingly enough, these fish can live to be well over a hundred years old. That is, of course, unless they end up in your fish tacos instead. "Arena Rock", North Coast, California June 3, 2006
