Wolf herrings are a family (Chirocentridae) of two marine species of ray-finned fish related to herrings.

Both species have elongated bodies and jaws with long sharp teeth that aid their ravenous appetites, primarily for other fish. They can grow up to1 m in length and have silvery sides with bluish backs.

They are commercially fished and sold fresh or frozen.

Wolf Herring tends to stay near costal water off Africa and Asian. Mostly in the Indian Ocean, but some Wolf Herrings have also been spotted near Australian beaches.
