Introduction

The Yellowtail Amberjack – Saafi is not a common fish in Pakistan. It has a worldwide distribution along the coasts extending from north subarctic to south subarctic but preferring warmer waters like the Arabian sea.

While this fish is currently fairly plentiful, it is becoming somewhat depleted because of overfishing. At Karachi fish harbor one can occasionally spot amberjacks being offloaded from fishing trawlers.

Amberjack – Saafi are rarely sought after by anglers. They’re most commonly caught while trolling for larger and more desirable fish, like sharks, tuna, and barracuda. Nonetheless, catching amberjack isn’t a total loss—they can be eaten and is consumed on a large-scale commercial basis.

Flavor Profile

This is a medium and dark meat fish with a distinct but pleasant flavor. It’s not a fish for those who want “fish lite”, but is highly thought of by people who actually like fish. The dark strip down the center runs quite deep, but it does not differ greatly in flavor or oiliness from the lighter flesh.

The flesh becomes quite firm when baked, steamed or poached, but is easily broken into large flakes. It holds together well enough for fish stews.
