Garfish is a characteristic fish for its pointed shape and also for its bones that (after cooking) assume a emerald green colour. You can find them particularly in spring, when they get closer to coasts to reproduce; some varieties live permanently in seaweed-infested waters and they’re also called “augghia d’alica” (seaweed garfish). In dialect it is called “augghia”, “ugghia”, “ùglia”: all these terms mean “needle” for the similarity of the garfish shape.
