They zip through the water like missiles when they are on the hunt, but haven’t really built up the press clippings that the sharks have.

Seemed that ever restaurant we stopped in to eat at in Florida, on our drive down from NH, had some sort of stuffed barracuda or barracuda jaws hung up on the wall.

For me, Florida = barracudas. Seems sad that there are no plates honoring the little toothy monsters.

We have barracuda. I swam around them in the local bayou as a child when they came in to hit mullet shoals, but no one is interested in using them on plates.
