Kingfish

The fish tend to be solitary hunters, preying on many species of school fish and squid. However, they come together in loose groups that are often found on the edges of floating objects or masses of seaweed.

Kingfish are fine eating. Indeed, Hawaiians call the fish 'Ono', which means literally 'good to eat'; and within their mythology the fish is represented as giving birth to Opelu, the Mackerel Scad that formed an important part of the traditional Hawaiian diet.
