Kuta/Burracuda fish

Description

Kuta, commonly known as barracuda, is a long, slender saltwater fish recognized for its smooth silver body and firm, meaty texture. It has a bold, slightly strong flavor compared to milder fish, making it well-suited for richly seasoned dishes. Barracuda is often sold fresh, smoked, or dried in many coastal and West African markets. When cooked, its flesh becomes firm and flaky, absorbing spices and marinades well. Kuta/barracuda is commonly used in soups, stews, and grilled recipes, and is valued for its high protein content and satisfying, hearty taste.
