Cuisine & Edibility

Common Goldfish

Not consumed — a classic ornamental aquarium and pond fish; its vivid color and hardy nature make it one of the world's most popular decorative species.

Wahoo

Delicate, flaky white flesh with a mild, sweet flavor and very low fat. Among the finest-tasting sport fish; best grilled, seared, or served as ceviche to preserve its subtle flavor.

Species Overview

Common Goldfish

The goldfish was one of the first fish to be domesticated, with selective breeding in China dating back over 1,000 years. Despite common misconceptions, goldfish can live 10-15 years with proper care and require far more space than a small bowl.

Wahoo

The wahoo is one of the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of reaching speeds of 97 km/h. Its elongated, torpedo-shaped body and razor-sharp teeth make it an efficient pelagic predator found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide.
