I thought barracudas frequented the Southern Hemisphere.

West Africans smoke them for use in soups and sauces. Smoking protects the soft flesh from disintegrating in the broth and gives it a smoky flavour.

@geoff-jowett Geoff; have you tasted it?  I'm curious if it has a smoked tuna consistency.

When I lived in Florida a friend and I scuba dived almost every weekend. We routinely saw sharks and barracuda. It was the latter that demanded our attention. My friend, Monte, spear fished and shot a large one that we ate. They taste very much like Spanish Mackerel. We didn't smoke it but the similarity to mackerel would still be there.

You betcha. All divers in salt water Florida dive with those animals. We never had a problem shark encounter. All jewelry must be off before diving - the shiny bits attract the 'cudas. We dove along the St.Pete/Tampa west coast area.

been a while Jack, very very expensive but reasonable availability over here. Most top seafood restaurants have it. My recollection is it was delicious.
