Carangoides plagiotaenia

Occasionally encountered, this trevally does rarely exceed 3kg. It is usually solitary.

Its general appearance is reminiscent of the two spotted queenfish, which is much more common. It is recognized by its slit mouth, similar to that of Aphareus furca and of course a black bar in the middle of the gill plate.

It is usually caught straightforwardly, and it’s an easy catch.

Although not a very tasty trevally, it is ok fried and therefore an OK back-up catch.
