No offence but if you're going to slice and fry every fish you catch without actually preparing it PROPERLY you'll never know how good they truly taste. Try baking, steaming or stewing fish.. some fish are ruined if you fry their flesh. Another tip, actually SEASON the fish properly! use fresh Herb's and leave it in the refrigerator for a few hour's. That's how we do it here in the Caribbean.

The Crevalle Jack may not be anything special fried, but it is a great fish to cook other different ways. Even the big ones. There's a reason they farm them off the coast of Hawai'i

I'm from guam and fish alot for food, you my dude just dont know how to cook these fish. it's honestly all to the persons taste, but if you know how to cook em, their usually pretty good eating

[TimothySlickback]

You must like burgers and fries for breakfast!

theres no such thing as bad tasting fish, only bad cooks *landsharkfishing2017*

Jack is one of the best fish to eat you just got to know how to seasoning them properly

[zhr]

man believe me jack crevalle are tasty, the guy that coocked dont even know how to clean them

[danielkostenko]

Pinfish are absolutely delicious if they're big enough

[skeetersaurus]

Jack Cravalles are GREAT, it's the cook!!! Remora Eels requires a cook that KNOWS HOW TO COOK EEL to make them come out good, too. The blowfish (which IS the Puffer Fish) is EXCELLENT in Sushi...IF YOU HAVE A TRAINED SUSHI CHEF prepare it for you (and yes, it CAN be deadly if not)...and in you slamming catfish, all I can say, is you need to move inland and buy a farm...because CATFISH IS AWESOME! ALL catfish are AWESOME! (clearly, it's a MISERABLE COOK issue at work, here!)

jacks are one of my favorite fish man common now

I am actually a professional chef, and the northern puffer fish is a target on my bi-annual trips to the Carolina coast. They aren't toxic, and are perfectly safe to eat without special preparation skill. The striped burrfish, though less common, is also present on the Atlantic coast. They are used as aquarium species, and generally not large enough to bother with eating. The northern puffer are easiest peeled with pliers by making a shallow cut across the back of the head and then down the back of the body (in a T shape). Their flesh is in two loin pieces down the spine. For those of you familiar, they are similar in taste and texture to frog legs. They are one of my personal favorites. Do yourself a favor and try them sometime. As long as they are properly seasoned and aren't burned, they really is no wrong way to cook them.

i’ve had the jack crevalle, remora, and saltwater catfish and they were good, and my dad used to live in jupiter and he ate puffers and they were called drumsticks

Should prepare and cook them better man.

Jack trevally or out here in Maui we call the Papio for smaller ones and any over 10lbs become Ulua but bra we make sashimi with them or fish soup or deep fry and it's one killah fish to eat

[billcoley]

CRAPPIE, CATFISH, BRIM, FLATHEAD, BASS, RAINBOW TROUT, THATS WHAT WE LIKE TO EAT

[CollectorsFromDade]

Just ate a smaller jack my son caught just over 1lb small guy but in my opinion there better smaller and definitely bled out n scaled. Heavy season with garlic lime sea salt n pepper and char grilled finish with more lime and they are good . Proud of my 6 year old son for catching it not being scared to stick a knife to bleed and ate it and liked it now I can throw his Nintendo overboard and get him a new rod for his birthday

its in the cooking styles ...explore filipino cooking

I live in Hawaii, all types of Jacks and ladyfish are eaten here and are considered great eating because here they have white meat and taste great. you mentioned people in Hawaii eat them, and I guess it's a difference in environment that makes the fish better quality. I've seen the videos of jack crevalle in Florida and the meat is oddly red, so I guess it's just different depending on the place 🤷‍♂️

Jacks are fine to eat if you prepare/clean the meat properly. I've had BBQed Jacks and they were very tasty. You should probably avoid larger examples due to ciguatera. A guide gave me a rule of thumb of not taking the ones that are longer than your forearm.
From personal experience: Don't eat Barracuda.. no matter how it's prepared. I let myself be talked into eating grilled Barracuda filet by a local guide in Egypt and it was just terrible. Fatty, oily and it had a very strong, unpleasant fishy taste. Definitely a fish to avoid.
Wahoo: While delicious when BBQed, I wouldn't recommended it as Sashimi. A buddy of mine insisted on having it raw, against the protestations of the skipper. The taste was alright, but the texture was like sandpaper in your mouth. Throw it on the grill and it's excellent.
Bonefish: Some locals in the Caribbean told me you could eat them when they're prepared properly, but I refuse to kill *any* Bonefish. They're so much fun in a fight and deserve to be released. Plus, from what I hear, they too must be pretty terrible, taste-wise.
