It does have a distinctive smell. Not everyone can smell it. I can tell when a kahawai has been in my chilly bin after the event. I made a beautiful plate of kahawai sushi for my family once. They couldn't get enough of it and I was gagging after my first bite. That said, I have come around to eating cooked kahawai, but it must be killed quickly, bled, gutted and iced properly.

persist with it people its a very underrated fish - I like it egg and bread crumbed pan fried fresh and yes its gill bleed - but then I can tolerate fish that is not ya bland crappy blue cod - now go up the east coast and you will be served Kahawai boiled in a big pot - and the way it is eaten is butter a piece of bread take some kahawai and onion close it into a sandwhich and munch - its damn good trust me -
