Cobia. These fish are found in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and are pelagic. Feeding mainly on crabs and small squid, this adds to the flavour of their own, firmly-textured flesh. They are typically served in the form of grilled or poached fillets.
A dish from the Basque country of salt cod cooked gently in a casserole with garlic, hot chillis and olive oil until the gelatine from the fish makes an emulsion resulting in a very light sauce.
Little tunny. The little tunny is a handsome fish with black scribble patterns on its back. It has a robust, torpedo-shaped body built for powerful swimming and it has no swim bladder. The mouth is large, the lower jaw slightly protruding past the upper jaw. The flesh of the little tuna is darker and stronger tasting than that of the other large tunas. It is marketed fresh, dried, canned, smoked, or frozen. It is often caught on hook and line near reefs.
