Culinary Details
Food Rating : 7
Pacific Barracuda has a meaty firm texture with large flakes, full flavor, low fat content, and rich in natural oils which makes it great for grilling. The flesh, when raw, is a light tannish color and when it’s cooked it becomes an off-white color. Many say that the meat is a cross between Mahimahi and Sea Bass. This species of fish spoils quickly so you’ll need to keep it well chilled right up to the time of cooking. You should eat your Barracuda within 2 days of purchase. This is a full flavored fish, so it is commonly served and goes well with an equally strong flavored - potent marinade or sauce. Barracuda is a very popular Mediterranean dish where it is stewed.Seasonality, Forms, Yields, Shelf Life & Quality Control

Sport Fishing Techniques
TrollingA trolling boat has multiple outriggers, poles and lines attached that use lures dragged across the ocean surface at speeds of 4 – 10 knots. Large beefy hooks are used with special durable lures allowing the fisherman to easily unhook the gamefish that has been caught and quickly get their lines back into the water. The larger the lures, the larger the potential fish, the larger the hooks. A tuna boat will usually make slow wide circles when trolling. A billfish boat will usually work ledges, fathom lines, zig zag area coordinates or make trolling circles if bait or a porpoise school is located and/or if they are fishing a FAD.. |

DriftingDrift fishing allows you to fish over a variety of habitats as your boat drifts with the currents or wind movement. You can drift fish on the bottom or change the depth with a bobber or float. Natural baits work best. But jigs, lures and artificial flies will produce good results, too. You can drift fish on the ocean, as well as ponds, lakes, rivers and streams any time of the day and year.. |
