It has a deep body and a greenish colour with metallic overtones and a dark spot above the gills. The fins are yellow. Trevally are strong fighters and the flesh is good to eat if a little dry. It is often used as cut bait. Its maximum size is about {{cvt|120|cm}}.

In New Zealand, this trevally is known by the Māori as ''araara'', and is generally confined to waters north of Cook Strait, although it sometimes reaches as far south as Otago in the summer. thumb|left|Juvenile ''Pseudocaranx dentex''
