Barracuda - As Food

As Food

Barracudas are popular both as food and game fish. They are most often eaten as fillets or steaks. Larger species, such as the great barracuda, have been implicated in cases of ciguatera food poisoning.

Southern Nigerians smoke them for use in soups. Smoking protects the soft flesh from disintegrating in the broth.
