The longfin yellowtail (Seriola rivoliana),[2] also known as the almaco or silvercoat jack, deep-water, falcate, European or highfin amberjack, rock salmon, longfin or yellow kingfish, is a game fish of the family Carangidae; they are in the same family as yellowtail and amberjack.[3] They are carnivorous and feed, both day and night, on other, smaller fish, such as baitfish, small squid, octopus, crab and shrimp.[4] The flesh is thick and dense, like tuna, and easily may be passed off for white albacore if prepared as sushi.[3]
