FAQ

Is cobia a good eating fish?

Cobia is a white meat fish that has a mild flavor but a great flavor profile. It is low in fat but has just enough fat to ensure that it is moist and juicy. When cooked, the flesh is firm and flaky, but not dry or hard. Its flavor is somewhat similar to mahi-mahi or tuna.

What does cobia taste like?

Cobia, which is frequently compared to the Yellowtail Kingfish, is a premium eating fish with few bones and a relatively high fillet recovery rate. It is frequently sold as cutlets, steaks, or loins but can also be found whole in some stores.
