Kingfish

Also called: Kalluun kingfish (Soomaali) · Thazard (kingfish) (Français) · سمك الكنعد (العربية)

What to look for

Fresh kingfish steaks are firm and moist with a bright, slightly translucent look and a clean sea smell, not fishy. The dark blood line should be red, not brown. East African and Asian grocers often sell frozen steaks, which work well in stews.
