To add to this, possibly a Chilean Jack mackerel? It was over a half a meter long.

They are a seasonal visitor here, and get targeted by the local Indian guys as they reckon it makes a good fish curry.
Bit skinny for my liking

I smoked it this morning and am impressed. They are a solid little fish, similar to a kingfish but slightly skinnier around the tail. I might have to come back and get a few more. Nothing wrong with the taste, that's for sure.
