Huachinango a la Veracruzana (Veracruz-Style Red Snapper) is a classic fish dish from Veracruz, Mexico.

[1] It combines ingredients and cooking methods from Spain and from pre-colonial Mexico.

[2] The use of olives and capers give something of a Mediterranean flavor to the dish, and shows the Spanish influence.

[3][4] Traditionally, a whole red snapper is used, gutted and de-scaled and marinated in lime juice, salt, pepper, nutmeg and garlic.

[7] The dish is traditionally served with small roasted potatoes and Mexican-style white rice.
