Cobia Fish cutting : GK Fish Bengaluru

Cobia, Rachycentron canadum also known as Lemon fish or Ling is an oceanodromous, migratory and pelagic fish that lives in brackish and marine waters.

The fish is popular known by the common names-Cobia, Black kingfish, Black salmon, runner or sergeant fish, crab eater and Sea murrel .

It is a highly priced game fish with high market value both in domestic and international markets.

Cobia known for its excellent meat quality is a famous premium food fish highly preferred by people in Taiwanc and Japan.

The white meat of the fish is served in restaurants as raw fish called Sashimi. The fast growth rate, adaptability to captive breeding (attains 6-8 kg/year) are the major attributes which makes cobia as an excellent candidate species for aquaculture .

Cobia is one of the marine finfish species with high aquaculture potential particularly for cage culture in India.
Attaining a maximum length of 2 m (78 in) and maximum weight of 78 kg (172 lb), the cobia has an elongated, fusiform (spindle-shaped) body and a broad, flattened head.

The eyes are small and the lower jaw projects slightly past the upper. Fibrous villiform teeth line the jaws, the tongue, and the roof of the mouth.

The body of the fish is smooth with small scales. It is dark brown in color, grading to white on the belly with two darker brown horizontal bands on the flanks.

The stripes are more prominent during spawning, when they darken and the background color lightens.
The large pectoral fins are normally carried horizontally, perhaps helping the fish attain the profile of a shark.

The first dorsal fin has six to nine independent, short, stout, sharp spines. The family name Rachycentridae, from the Greek words rhachis ("spine") and kentron ("sting"), was inspired by these dorsal spines.

The mature cobia has a forked, slightly lunated tail, which is usually dark brown. The fish lacks a swim bladder. The juvenile cobia is patterned with conspicuous bands of black and white and has a rounded tail.

The largest cobia taken on rod and reel came from Shark Bay, Australia, and weighed 60 kg (135 lb).
The cobia is sold commercially and commands a relatively high price for its firm texture and excellent flavor.

However, no designated wild fishery exists because it is a solitary species. It has been farmed in aquaculture. The flesh is usually sold fresh. It is typically served in the form of grilled or poached fillets. Chefs Jamie Oliver and Mario Batali each cooked several dishes made with cobia in the "Battle Cobia" episode of the Food Network program Iron Chef America, which first aired in January, 2008. Thomas Keller's restaurant, The French Laundry, has offered cobia on its tasting menu.
