What is another name for Snoek fish?

Its scientific name is Thyrsites atun and it is called the Barracouta in New Zealand and Australia – and this name gives you an idea of why it is often a ‘game’ fish targeted by recreational line-fishers from ski boats.

Is smoked Snoek healthy?

“Cape snoek is often seen as a low-value fish, but it is in fact a healthy, relatively cheap high-protein, low-fat food source that is high in ‘good’ omega-3 fatty acids,” Henning summarizes the findings. “Snoek is, therefore, an important and healthy source of protein,” adds Hoffman.

What does Snoek taste like?

Snoek is one of the great culinary pleasures of the Western Cape (the province surrounding Cape Town). The flesh is oily and presumably packed with all the health benefits that oily fish brings; the meat is firm and strongly flavored, rather like mackerel on steroids.
