Also known as Black King Fish and called “SUGI” by the Japanese, this medium to large migratory fish is found in tropical and subtropical oceans, and in Mexico it is important as a game fish. Because of its rapid growth rate, nutritious flesh and good texture, it is highly regarded and has established itself as an important fish type for consumer sales in Taiwan. In recent years, this fish has been exported to the US, Japan and Korea, where it has uniformly received praise.
