The barracuda is the seawater version of the pike. Its flesh is dark, but unlike tuna and swordfish, flakey and quite soft. Our barracuda usually comes from the Indian Ocean. Two fillet portions.
You should know that some specimens of barracuda carry a naturally occurring poison known as ciguatera. We believe this to be quite rare. However, it can give you a bad tummy ache and occasionally, worse. There is no realistic way of checking whether our barracuda contain ciguatera.
