Description
Largehead hairtail is a popular food fish, often used as sashimi in Japan. This eel-like fish lives in the muddy ocean seabeds and benthos, but it rises to the surface during the night to feed on small fish. Largehead hairtail has silvery-blue scales, but it turns completely silver or gray after death.
