Can you eat the skin of a red snapper?

Chef's answer
All snapper are good to eat in that they are all lean, low-fat fish with a mild flavor and edible skin. I love skin-on snapper because, once scaled, you can eat the skin of a snapper and it will taste a bit like a crispy potato chip. ... Think about your frying pan or wok, and if the fish fits, keep it whole.
