Kahawai
ARRIPIS SPP
Kahawai
Dark, medium-textured flesh that lightens on cooking; suited to canning, where flesh turns a delicate pink, and also smoking.
A pelagic school fish of the Arripidae family. Found around the North Island coast, in Cook Strait and north of Kaikoura in the South Island. Often sighted close to shore and frequently schooling by size. Caught by purse seine year-round, but are often targeted in the winter when the Skipjack Tuna have moved north.
