kingfish a name best reserved for two fish of the W. Atlantic, Menticirrhus saxatilis, the northern kingfish, and M. americanus, the southern kingfish; but the name is often used in a loose way of other species; see amberjack, including yellowtail and wahoo. These fish are closely related, within the family Sciaenidae, to the croakers and drums, but lack an air bladder so cannot make the noise which their cousins produce. The northern kingfish has irregular dark bars on its sides, which the other species lacks. Maximum length 40 cm (16").

The northern kingfish is most common between Chesapeake Bay and New York; although its full range is from Florida to Cape Cod, it is only a summer visitor in the north and is largely replaced by the southern kingfish in the south.

These are excellent table fish. The white flesh has a fine texture, making it suitable for salads, and responds well to all the standard ways of cooking fish.
