Jacks
Whomever said Jacks were not edible lied.
RodbuilderESM gave me the Jack he caught yesterday and I filleted it while it was still kickin'.
Washed it well and put it on ice.
Got home, removed the skin & all the bloodline meat. Cut it into small "steaks".
Today I cooked the first batch
Check out the recipe I just posted.
It was great, no "fishy" or "bloody" taste, pretty mild flavor. Texture more like pork.
Not at all what I was expecting.
I'll be keeping every single one I catch.ChileRelleno likes this.Carl

That's interesting, what kind of fish was the flavor comparable to? I'm curious as to how it would taste seared. Thanks for trying it out for us!

Dang, I have to try one, I've heard from a Filipno friend that they're good to eat cooked in a Soy & Ginger recipe.
"...texture similar to pork." I've heard that before too.
Ya know, the Sabiki Brigade wouldn't pay up to $40.00 for a Jack if they were inedible.Ragnar Benson:

I say the same thing about bonito. I caught one last year, cut out the darker meat, and soaked and boiled it for bonito salad. Excellent. Pretty, almost white meat when cooked. Better than packaged tuna by far.

So in other words, there are no bad-tasting fish, just bad cooks. I like it.

Pretty much to an extent. Some fish only require minimal preparation. Others require a little bit more to be suitable for most fish eaters. But some people like myself enjoy those fish the way they are. I like king mackerel the way it is but some people have to marinate or soak their king for them to consider it edible.

Large Black Drum may be the exception. The 26# Black Drum I caught earlier this year was just plain nasty. Wont be keeping any of those anymore. Originally Posted by midwestexile

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
