Drum

THESE FISH ARE NAMED AFTER THE LOUD DRUMMING NOISE THEY PRODUCE FROM CONTRACTING THE MUSCLES CONNECTED TO THEIR BLADDERS. THEY ARE FOUND IN TROPICAL WATERS OF BOTH THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS AND IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. RED DRUM HAS EMERALD GREEN TINT TO ITS FLESH WHILE THE FLESH OF THE BLACK DRUM IS WHITER. BOTH COOK UP SNOW WHITE. THE FLAVOR IS VERY MUCH LIKE SNAPPER, BEING SWEET AND MILD.
