What Is Wahoo (Spanish Mackerel / Kingfish)?
Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) is a large, fast pelagic fish of the mackerel family (Scombridae), found in tropical and subtropical waters. It has an elongated silver-blue body, firm white flesh and a clean, mild taste that works beautifully grilled, seared, baked or as sashimi. In global seafood trade wahoo is widely marketed as Spanish mackerel or kingfish, and as Tanigue in the Philippines — all referring to this prized sport and food fish.
Is Wahoo the Same as Spanish Mackerel or Kingfish?
Wahoo is closely related to Spanish mackerel and kingfish — all belong to the mackerel family (Scombridae) — and is commonly sold under those names in international markets. Strictly, “Spanish mackerel” and “kingfish” refer to species in the genus Scomberomorus, while wahoo is Acanthocybium solandri; but because their firm white flesh, size and culinary uses are so similar, wahoo is routinely traded as Spanish mackerel or kingfish. Baseafood supplies true wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri), whole round.
