Did some reading...


This is the same species of Mackerel that is caught off the East Coast


http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-barred_Spanish_mackerel


The real King Mackerel is an Atlantic fish...


http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_mackerel


So a Couta is not a King Mackerel but a Narrow Barred Spanish Mackerel....

100% Gerhard...
a fish known by 100 different names!
Katonkel, Couta, Cuda, Spanish King, King Mack, Serra, Sierra... etc etc

Scomberomorus commerson - Officially known and named by the Heemstra's as 'King Mackerel'. As a footnote in their book: aka 'Narrowbarred Spanish Mackerel'.
