Scomberoides commersonnianus

The talang queenfish is fond of sandy bottoms and murky waters. It is easily recognized by its elongated and narrow body, its very jagged jaw, a series of large circular black dots on the flank and a golden color out of the water. Also typical are the belly and the quite advanced position of the anal and dorsal fins.
It can be observed all year round, alone or in small groups.
In Indonesia this queenfish is infrequent, it is much more so in the Gulf of Thailand and in the Arabian Peninsula.
The talang queenfish is a very vigorous fish and because of its speed it is often shot instinctively. It presents no particular difficulty.
Like the dolphinfish, the talang queenfish is delicious cooked, an exclusive catch.
