Coryphaena hippurus

The dolphinfish is a circumtropical pelagic. In Indonesia, it is almost never seen on the reef.

It is also rare to encounter individuals over a dozen kilos. Dolphinfish are found in the blue, upstream of the reef, around the FADs, or under floating debris, which are classical places of presence for this fish.

It can be encountered all year, at any time, including mid-day.

Females have rounded forehead, males have a square forehead. The magnificent colors of the fish disappear after its death.

They are not particularly shy, and the target is quite broad; however, dolphinfish are fast and usually shot close to the surface, which does not facilitate accurate aiming.

Dolphinfish struggle very vigorously but get tired quickly, and their flesh is less fragile than that of the wahoo so fewer fish tear off.

The dolphinfish is very tasty raw or grilled and often served in restaurants.

A catch not to regret.
