Blue Marlin/Kajiki

About Blue Marlin (Kajiki)

The strikingly beautiful blue marlin derives its name from its color, a sort of cobat blue on the top and silvery while underneath. they are very recognisable also by the pronounced dorsal fin and lon spear shaped upper jaw.  It is the largest of the Atlantic marlins and one of the biggest fish in the world ranging from eleven to pronounced dorsal fin and a long, lethal, spear-shaped upper jaw feet long and weighing between 200 to 400 pounds (91 to 181 kilograms).





Blue Marlins are native to the tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, and spend most of their lives far out at sea. Blue Marlins are among the fastest fish in the ocean, making them a challenge to be eagerly pursued by sport fishermen

Blue Marlin as a delicacy

The meat of the Blue marlin is considered a delicacy, particularly in Japan, where it is served raw as sashimi. In the Caribbean it is a very popular fish particularly by those patronizing the many weekend fish fries.



The video below shows just how meaty this fish is and why it lends itself to being made into Pepperpot.
