Description

There are four commercially available varieties of the kingklip; red, golden, black, and south. All four varieties are similarly shaped, and on the outside differ mainly in the color of their skin. The name of the variety, in most cases, indicates the overall hue of the fish. Buyers should be aware that the more expensive red and golden varieties can be substituted with the cheaper black variety. Black kingklip meat is lighter, larger, and firmer than the meat of its more expensive cousins.
