One of the fastest fish in the sea, the wahoo is a sleek open ocean hunter that usually travels alone or in loose company rather than tight schools. It seizes fish and squid in short bursts, grows to two and a half metres, and is prized both as a gamefish and on the plate, though large ones can carry ciguatera.
