Cuisine & Edibility

Atlantic Sailfish

Firm, mildly flavored flesh similar to marlin; primarily a catch-and-release sport fish. Edible when smoked or grilled but rarely targeted for food; sport anglers typically release it.

Brook Trout

Delicate, sweet flesh with a nutty, mild flavor; low fat and fine texture. One of the most prized freshwater eating fish in North America — best pan-fried simply in butter with herbs.

Species Overview

Atlantic Sailfish

The sailfish is the fastest fish in the ocean, reaching speeds up to 110 km/h. Its enormous dorsal fin, or 'sail,' can be raised to herd baitfish. When hooked, it performs spectacular tail-walking displays across the water surface.

Brook Trout

The brook trout is actually a char, native to cold, clean streams of eastern North America. Its olive-green body with distinctive worm-like markings (vermiculations) and red spots with blue halos make it one of the most beautiful freshwater fish.
