Silver Trevally (Pseudocaranx dentex) Photographs and Information



Silver Trevally have moderately elongated and compressed bodies.  There is a low ridge bearing 20-26 bony scutes along the posterior part of the lateral line.  Silver trevally have 2 dorsal fins, a deeply forked caudal fin and 2 small, detached spines just forward of the anal fin.  These fish are bluish silver on the back, sometimes with a yellowish hue.  Their sides are yellowish silver, and they have a small black blotch on the operculum.

Silver Trevally are found along the coast of southern Australia.  They also inhabit the waters of Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island and New Zealand and the sub-tropical to temperate waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

Juvenile silver trevally usually inhabit estuaries, bays and shallow continental shelf waters, while adults form schools near the sea bed on the continental shelf.  Some older fish school near the surface in deeper shelf waters.  Adult trevally also live on inshore reefs and over open grounds of sand or gravel, or in large bays and inlets.

Silver trevally spawn in summer.  They have been found spawning in both estuaries and shelf waters.  They appear to be serial spawners, releasing several batches of eggs over a number of weeks.  The eggs are planktonic and are about 0.8mm in diameter.

Silver trevally are carnivores and feed on polychaete worms, molluscs and crustaceans such as amphipods on the sea bed.  Pelagic schools of silver trevally are known to feed on planktonic crustaceans such as krill.

Cooking Silver Trevally:

Silver Trevally fish filletsSilver trevally is an economical fish. Whole; look for firm, pleasant sea smell, bright bulging eyes. Fillets should be pink in colour, firm with no brown markings.

Trevallies have superb eating qualities, with a strong but not overpowering flavour. They are an excellent choice for children as their bones are easily removed.

The flesh is darker in colour when raw but once cooked the flesh turns brilliant white. It has a full flavour with a medium to firm texture.

Bake, grill, smoke and deep or shallow fry trevally, but preferably serve skinless. They can be excellent in sashimi and popular when served fried with chips. Smoking helps to reduce the oiliness, which is high in some species. Curried or herbed mayonnaise makes a delicious accompaniment.


Farmed fish is very popular for sashimi in Japan. Other names for silver trevally include trevally, skipjack trevally, blurter and silver bream.

Trevally is quite a dry fish.
