king mackerel
Migratory sport fish
King mackerel is a large game fish found in the western Atlantic, prized by sport fishers for its fighting ability and by commercial fisheries for its firm, oily flesh.
Also called kingfish.
The meat is often grilled or smoked: We had king mackerel steaks on the grill.
