What is wahoo?
My husband likes to fish in Mexico and often comes back with wahoo.
Wahoo is related to mackerel. In Hawaii, it's called “ono,” meaning “good to eat.”
It's a mild-tasting fish that's often compared to chicken or veal in flavor.

I love the Spanish olive and tomato flavors in this grilled wahoo recipe. These bright flavors along with the freshness of the fish sound like a perfect combination.
That looks delicious! And perfect for summer.
Yum, you’re so lucky to have truly fresh fish to cook with. This sauce reminds me of puttanesca, love it!
Fresh fish (well, frozen after the fact) is the one of the reasons I don’t mind my husband going on these fishing trips.
