Description
Caribbean salmon, also known as Jamaican salmon or Cuban salmon, is not actually a true salmon but a fish called Wahoo. It has a firm, meaty texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
The flesh is white to off-white in color and has a moderate oil content, which contributes to its moist and flaky texture. The taste of Caribbean salmon is often described as similar to other mild-flavored fish like snapper or grouper, but with a slightly firmer texture and a sweeter taste.
Caribbean salmon pairs well with a variety of seasonings and marinades, including tropical fruit flavors, like mango or pineapple, and spicy rubs. It is commonly prepared by grilling, baking, or frying and is a popular ingredient in many Caribbean dishes, from simple grilled fillets to more complex stews and curries. Its firm texture also makes it a great choice for ceviche and other raw preparations.
