Barracuda

This one is a representative of the Azores Island marine fauna! Regarding Portuguese waters, this specie is not found on the mainland coast, being exclusively caught in Azores Archipelago waters. The Barracuda is a very fast and greedy predator that patrols the submarine peaks in search for other fish. Its head and mouth are very intimidating, but on the plate it has a very nice flavour, having a moderately white meat, but soft texture.
