Sarda orientalis

The oriental bonito is a seasonal fish that can be observed from May to December. It is highly sought after by local traditional fishermen.

Sometimes in small groups, often in very fast big shoals, the eastern bonito is one of those fishes that brighten your day.

Similar to the European bonito sarda pelamis, it is very energetic and a poorly shot fish will eventually tear.

As with all schooling fish, the key is a maneuverable speargun to be able to aim at a specific individual in the school and shoot a few centimeters ahead of the point of impact.

Its flesh is very red and a little heavy but acceptable. A good reward for your pilot.
