Threadfin or 'King' salmon (Australia). Note catfish-like whiskers!
Can grow to a BIG fish (100lb). Well regarded here as a sport fishing species and considered by some to be good eating. Personally I think they are pretty ordinary to eat. Often bi-catch for barra fishermen.

I think they taste wonderful! It’s kind of hard to describe the flavor. There’s literally no other closely related fish that I know of besides a remora and I’m not eating one of those to compare. The meat is mostly white and super firm. To me the meat tastes a little like buttered crab if it’s not overcooked.

In this part of the world, Cobia are very well regarded as a fish for the table! :D
I've never caught one though as they are "not the targeted species"! :lol:
