amberjacks

Large oceanic predators

Amberjacks are large, powerful fish of the genus Seriola, found in warm ocean waters worldwide and prized by both commercial and sport fishermen.

They have elongated, streamlined bodies with a distinctive amber or brownish stripe running from nose to tail.

The greater amberjack is the largest species, reaching over 150 pounds.

Their firm, mild flesh makes them popular for grilling and sushi, though larger specimens may accumulate ciguatera toxin.
