The pinjalo is an occasional and locally frequent host of reefs.
It is a very gregarious fish. constantly in motion, it is not an easy target, despite its sometimes good size, up to 4-5 kilos.
It is mainly encountered during the rainy season, when it rises from the depths;
On the surface its color is bright red but underwater, its appearance is rather greenish, even downright gray. It is mainly recognized by its rather small head relatively to the body.
Where they usually dwell, the pinjalos approach in schools and one must try one’s luck, generally from top to bottom. The shot must be precise but also powerful because of the rather dense scales of the pinjalo protecting a fairly tender flesh.
The pinjalo is excellent for barbecue. A party catch!
