If Wahoo is Ono (or Oahu fish) in Hawaii – as seems to be the case from the
various sites I've plumbed for information – then it definitely doesn' t
taste like mackerel, judging from the Ono I ate in Maui – very good. That
said, Wahoo is acknowledged to be a "scombrid" fish meaning amember of the
Scombridae – the mackerel family, even though its moniker is Anthocybium
solanderii – very confusing. Very tasty fish. As for mackerel – if it is
fresh and properly prepared (including as sashimi or nigiri) it is also
tasty, though some faint of heart landlubbers complain about the strong
taste – that fishiness increases with decreasing freshness. Smoked mackerel
can be reall y good.
Nuff said.
Apple uglies are not for diabetics like me – too bad!
