Pan-Fried Red Snapper with Red Sauce+Merry Christmas

First of all I would like to wish all my dear readers ,friends and family a Merry Christmas!! May this coming Christmas bring joy,peace and happiness to you and family.
I'm a fish lover,so is my daughter Mishu..I always encourage her to eat fish with me.I like to get whole fish with bone and head attached becos it's taste fresher and tasty but I was advised if I cook fish for Mishu I should get boneless fish instead..I think I trained Mishu well from small how to eat whole fish with bone attached .She is quite good when eating whole fish..The red snapper is known as a very tasty fish and it's quite pricey compare with tilapia,sea bass or flounder.A pound cost more then $5.00..I think eating sea water fish in moderate is better then eating red meat or other meat right?
