opah not oprah

"Opah (also known colloquially as moonfish, sunfish, kingfish, redfin ocean pan, and Jerusalem haddock) are large, colorful, deep-bodied pelagic Lampriform fish comprising the small family Lampridae (also spelled Lamprididae)."

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opah

 

picked up some Opah today at the recommendation of the fish guy. fantastic fish, was in steak form and cooks like a swordfish or shark but totally different. was very juicy and had a very clean and yummy flavor. i recommend it.

 

My wife made up some tasty pineapple+ginger+cilantro relish that went great with this tropical fish
