not to belabor the discussion, but charter captains around these waters differentiate between king macks and wahoo (wahoo may very well be a type of mack, but not a kingfish)
South Florida Fish Regs classify visually as this -
wahoo (as pictured above):
eta: we can continue in the carpe diem -learning to fish thread, if you wish, but I won’t take up any more of the food topic classifying fish species. thanks
Yeah King Mackerel and Wahoo are closely related but distinct species. It’s just Kingfish gets applied to both or either in certain areas, it’s an indistinct term that been used as a common name for a bunch of species and refers to different ones in different areas. Current usage here, at least at market, is Wahoo and King Mackerel. But old timers will label either as Kingfish.
I don’t think it’s off topic for the food topic.
Since it bears directly on what you are buying (or catching) and cooking, where and what substitutes you might find in other areas."
ETA: For those purposes we’re talking a large, open water “true mackerel”. Wahoo tends to be a bit lighter in color and flavor than King Mackerel. Both are firm fleshed, oily and tend to a stronger flavor.
that all makes sense.
I mean, how many regional names for crappie/ bream/ perch? some may call it crappie, others call the same fish white perch and cajuns call it sac au lait.
I get it. bon appetit!
To further it. Sea bream as a group are usually labelled Porgie here, and I think it’s in the UK too. Elsewhere they are snapper. But here that is an immature Bluefish. A popular variety of European sea bream is Dorade. Which is a common alternate form of Dorado (Italian rather than Spanish), once the preferred Atlantic name for Mahi Mahi. Since the English name is Dollfin. Which is still curiously common among fishermen here. And that is creepy.
So it really pays to know what group of fish or specific species your talking. Especially once you start talking about or recommending fish across regions or borders as we often do here.
Want even worse, fish species in the Adriatic and the Med have different names depending on where on the coast you are…
Today I learned of a few new fish, the Dab and the John Dory, wasn’t under the impression I knew em all, but it’s amazing how many there are.
To your point, might make sense to use scientific names if you know them?
OMGlob! That’s fantastic! 
Have any of you encountered this raindrop cake thing out in the world?
I just stumbled upon it looking for something else. Wondering what it’s like…
There have been some BB posts about them.
Basically, they’re jello.
I mistook that for a mirror cake at first. Haven’t heard of raindrop cake.
Sounds like it is flavored liquid thickened with Agar. Agar has a gelatinous texture, but firmer and less bouncy than gelatin. It’s often a bit plasticky and grainy.
It’s basically vegan jello.
The versions that have been covered in previous threads were made with gelatin, not agar-agar.
How do I remember that? Because my takeaway was that our family can’t eat them. Conversely, we enjoy agar-agar based desserts and snacks.
World’s biggest potato:
Aptly named tuber, since it was, you know…Doug. 
ooooh! pretty!
pretty tasty, I’d bet!
Shrimp risotto in the instant pot, with a green salad. Sounds like a game of Clue!
Plus, we get more than one meal for two from it.
Yes! Was it found in the conservatory?
