Description
The Hawaiian Manini fish have a razor-sharp spine near their tail. These scalpel-like defensive weapons are the reason why the acanthuridae are often referred to as "surgeon fish." The manini is easily recognized by its pattern of stripes. It has six relatively narrow black bands, the first of which crosses its eye.
Manini is excellent fish that can be cooked in many ways the white fish is. The most popular way to cook the smaller manini, by the locals here in Hawaii, is right in the pan.
