Queenfish

Queenfish, also known as Giant Queenfish or Talang Queenfish, is a popular game fish found in the tropical and subtropical waters of Australia, particularly in estuaries, bays, and coastal reefs. It is a fast-swimming and hard-fighting fish known for its acrobatic jumps and aerial displays, making it a popular target for recreational anglers.

Queenfish are pelagic predators and primarily feed on small fish, squid, and crustaceans. They are known for their impressive speed and agility, often hunting in schools and chasing their prey near the water's surface.

Queenfish has a firm, white flesh that is highly valued for its flavor and is often served in restaurants and seafood markets. It can be cooked in various ways, such as grilled, baked, or fried, and is often served with various accompaniments such as vegetables, rice, or sauces.

Queenfish populations are generally considered to be healthy, although they have been impacted by overfishing in some areas. There are now regulations in place to manage fishing pressure and protect the species, including size and bag limits, closed fishing seasons, and catch-and-release programs.
