  The Ricci curvature of the Bergman metric on a bounded domain $D\subset
\mathbb{C}^n$ is strictly bounded above by $n+1$ and consequently $\log
(K_D^{n+1}g_{B,D})$, where $K_D$ is the Bergman kernel for $D$ on the diagonal
and $g_{B, D}$ is the Riemannian volume element of the Bergman metric on $D$,
is the potential for a K\"ahler metric on $D$ known as the Kobayashi--Fuks
metric. In this note we study the localization of this metric near holomorphic
peak points and also show that this metric shares several properties with the
Bergman metric on strongly pseudoconvex domains.
