What fish is Saira?

Answer 1

Sauries or Sairas are fish which live in tropical and temperate waters. These fish often jump while swimming near the surface, skimming the water. The jaws of sauries are beak-like, ranging from long, slender beaks to relatively short ones with lower jaw only slightly elongated. The mouth openings of sauries, however, are relatively small and the jaws are weakly toothed. A row of small finlets behind the dorsal and anal fins is also a feature of sauries. An unusual feature of these fish is that they lack swim bladders. Sauries grow to a maximum length of about 46 cm. They are harvested commercially as a food fish. Sauries first appear in the fossil record in the upper Tertiary. Pacific sauries are consumed often in Japanese and Korean cuisine. The fish is usually grilled.
