They are most often eaten as fillet or steak and have a strong taste like tuna or salmon. Larger species, like the great barracuda, have in some areas been implicated in cases of ciguatera food poisoning[4]. In southern Nigeria, West Africa they are smoked and used in the preparation of different soups. The reason for smoking is because when cooked fresh, the fish is quite soft and disintegrates in the soup. Barracuda are prize fish, and can be caught either by fly or sea fishing. They are extremely powerful, and require tough and strong rods. Taken From Wikipedia Book your barracuda fishing trip today and enjoy all the Bahamas has to offer.
