Trevally are blue-green on the top, silvery white on the belly, and have a yellowish sheen running along the length of the fish. Their body is deep, with small scales, and a row of bony scutes along the mid-body, and a relatively small head. A small dark blotch often appears on the upper gill cover.
Belonging to the Carangidae family (trevallies, kingfishes), Trevally are common around many parts of the North Island and the top half of the South Island and are most abundant at depths of about 80 metres.
They have a medium to soft fillets with low oil content and marbled pink flesh. It can be smoked, baked, steamed, poached, fried, marinated or used in curries.
Trevally is a good source of Selenium, Niacin (vitamin B3), Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D; and a source of Iodine, Iron, Phosphorus, Potassium and Thiamin (vitamin B1).
