poisson lune

[French]

Opah or moonfish, also, confusingly, known as the sunfish. This can be a huge fish, up to 50 kilos in weight. We saw one in an aquarium and it looked positively prehistoric. However the meat is good, pink and firm and can be treated like tuna, eaten raw as sushi, fried or grilled or even roasted.
