Barracuda Beers
I can’t decide if barracuda are underrated as a species. They’re often seen as a nuisance fish, so we don’t target them. Also, in many places they often carry ciguatera, so they’re not a good food source. Furthermore, they tend to bite through lines when we are chasing other species, making their presence a hassle.
Nevertheless, they’re strong, aggressive and prolific. Often they’ll bite when no other fish will. So perhaps we should celebrate them a bit more. The following six brewers have already done so.

Bird Brained Barracuda
While a full-body paddlefish replica doesn’t appeal to me, I would like a preserved snout. The distinctive paddle that provides their name is actually called a “rostrum,” much like on the sawfish we accidentally caught in the Florida Keys. They make an amazing mount.
