Barracuda

A long, thin fish known by the French as ‘Brochet De Mer’(Sea Pike) due to its appearance, but the sweet tasting, flaky flesh is something else! They range in size from 2 to 8kg,and are a large, mean looking predatory fish. However, the shape means from the 3kg+ fish you get some large, even shaped, long fillets– great for suprême portions. Barracuda can take strong flavours like Thai and Indian well. Best pan-fried, grilled or baked, but be careful not to overcook, as it dries out easily.
