The wahoo is found worldwide in tropical and subtropical
areas. In Hawaii it is known as the Ono (means "tasty" or "delicious") and
in the Caribbean and Central America it is known as the Peto. Their body is
elongated and covered with small, barely visible scales. Their back is an
iridescent blue and their sides are silvery with a pattern of vertical blue
bars (these colors fade rapidly upon death). The Wahoo have a large mouth
with razor sharp teeth and are a very aggressive fish. They can grow up to
8 feet in length and weigh up to 180 pounds. The Wahoo is a rapidly growing
fish - one specimen that was tagged at 11 pounds grew to 33 pounds in one
year. Wahoo can swim up to 50 mph , one of the fastest fish in the sea.
Wahoo tend to be solitary or occur in groups of two or three fish, but when
conditions are suitable can be found in schools as large as 100 or more.
Their diet is made up of other fish and squid. The flesh of the wahoo is
white and very delicate.
Our recipe this week is Grilled Wahoo and you can find it
