Rocket Croaker (Macrodon atricauda): Very similar to the croaker, but with some subtle differences. The rocket croaker's eye is smaller, as is its upper dorsal fin. It can reach up to 1 kg and has an average lifespan of 12 years, according to studies by Miranda (2004). Its caudal fin is pointed.

It is common for the croaker fillet to come with the skin on, as the meat is very delicate. In this case, the skin helps support the flesh. Also, this skin is very flavorful and rich in collagen.
