Wahoo is managed in the Atlantic by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council and in the Pacific by the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council. Wahoo are an expensive fish to commercially catch because they are a solitary and are only sometimes found in small schools. Wahoo stay in tropical and subtropical waters and some tagged fish were reported to travel over 1,700 miles from their original tagged location. Their diet is similar to migratory tunas they eat jacks, pompanos, butterfish, and squid. Frozen wahoo is imported from China, Ecuador, and other Pacific Islands including American Samoa in steak and fillet form. Usually sold at around 30lbs, is it found in tropical seas but is not abundant and thus has limited fresh supplies. It is a good eating fish, similar to the large mackerels and especially Spanish mackerels. Wahoo are an important game fish caught off southern Florida, Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, and the South Pacific and is greatly appreciated in Hawaii, where it is called ono. They are a steel blue fish with small scales, a large mouth and can swim over 45 miles per hour. The fish is also known as Ono, after the Hawaiian word for "delicious".Ī large relative of the mackerels and tunas, wahoo can reach over 100 pounds, 40-65 inches in length, and it is reported they can live up to 5 or 6 years. Some say that the name "Wahoo" is a derivation of the name of the Hawaiian Island Oahu, which was sometimes spelled Wahoo, while others say the name derives from the exclamation of some fishermen, "Wahoo!" who have hooked into the extremely fast running fish. The Wahoo is a dark blue scombrid fish found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas. Wahoo is also known as ono, or ocean barracuda. Unlike other mackerel, wahoo has a mild, snow-white flesh that is often compared to the taste of albacore.
Poaching or marinades help to softens the texture and is a good compliment to wahoo’s mild flavor also helps to keep the fish moist, this fish can become dry. Wahoo is a lean protein option and its fat content is lower than tuna or mackerel. It has a less of the “blood meat” or the strong oiler taste seen in other migratory fish. My traditional CKP Surmai kalvan/curry recipe works well with pomfret too.Delicate texture and mild flavor, wahoo is a versatile cooking fish. Since the Kingfish belongs to the Mackerel family, the mackerel will take all these marinade flavours beautifully and works well both fried and in a curry Konkani style. I’d say they taste better in a curry than fried and if you do fry them do add a large squeeze of lime after you have fired them. You can also buy Wahoo steaks from Wing Yip but the taste is not as pronounced and the flesh is not as tender, besides wahoo steaks are bigger and need more seasoning and should be consumed on the same day to enjoy flavours which are at their best in a freshly made fish curry. The Kingfish that you will get here is from the North Atlantic waters. If you are looking for fresh Kingfish in London the best place to find it is at supermarkets like H-Mart. Tamarind trees are also found in abundance A lot of people would also add tamarind paste to the curry but we do not. This is another fabulous recipe that originates from the western coast of India, the Konkan coastline, dotted by beautiful coconut trees, the coastline is abundantly blessed with fresh seafood and natural scenic beauty read beautiful beaches with soft sands and plenty of sunshine.
So most Sunday afternoons we would make our way to mum’s and Baba would be helping Aai cook our favourite Sunday meal of chicken curry and rice, or sometimes when he was in a mood for seafood he would go Supekar’s fish market and queue up for fresh Surmai (Marathi Surmai / सुरमई चे कालवण, I ndo-Pacific king mackerel or popularly spotted seer fish- Scomberomorus guttatus), Pomfret and my fav fresh prawns Ummm! Fresh Fish Market – Pune, Maharashtra, India I sorely miss a lot of things about my life back home and one of the things I miss most is lazy Sunday afternoons at my parent’s place. Like any typical teenager if you do move out from home during college years you would be better off dealing with moving out your parents after you get married but I never lived away from my parents and it was only after I was married that hubster and I moved into our own place, which happened to be very close to my mum’s! CKP style Seer Fish Curry recipe Leaving your home country and more importantly leaving behind your near and dear ones is never easy.
