On my many holidays to malta i have had the most beautiful fish to eat, it is called Lampuki , i was wondering if any maltese could tell me if they know the english name for this fish or a fish that can be found in Australia that is similar to Lampuki.

I really do not know much about this fish at all but a friend of ours had Maltese grandparents, so will ask him about it. Till then I found this information on the internet and it might help you out. Lampuki is the Maltese name for the dorado or mahi-mahi, a kind of fish that migrates past the islands of Malta in the Fall. The fishing season for lampuki is end of August through November. Fishermen cut and gather the larger, lower fronds from palm trees which they then weave into large flat rafts. The rafts are pulled out to sea with small boats. During midday lampuki school underneath the rafts, seeking the shade. The fishermen use large mesh nets to catch the schooling lampuki. The fishing method has not changed significantly since Roman times. The lampuki are used both for local consumption and export. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampuki I will make an addition to this post when I do find out if there is something similar here in Australia that you might like. From what I read about this fish I think it might be similar to tuna or swordfish.
