Re: Do you eat amberjack?
No,because I have enough hog,trigger,snapper,groupr,lionfish,AP,cobia,tuna, wahoo,flounder,sheepshead and lobster so as to not have to eat AJ,kingfish or other cat food.

Re: Do you eat amberjack?
I don't eat AJ, mostly because of the reasons listed above. Except lionfish!

Re: Do you eat amberjack?
I've seen people talk about "AP" before a lot. I'm in California so I don't know FL fish that well. What's an AP?

Re: Do you eat amberjack?
absolutely nothing wrong with Kingfish, one of my favorites grilled or blackened.
My friend Ced likes them as sashimi. Another favorite of mine; cut into small pieces, coat with yellow mustard, roll in zatarains fish fry mix, then deep fry. KC |

You probably don't eat mullet either?? I consider them better tasting than any of the above mentioned when caught the right time of year, properly prepared, and cooked. I feel the same way about AJ. It's a nice firm meat great for grilling. Of course, preparation is everything. Not very good for freezing unless your willing to take the time to properly trim the red meat. You eat frozen tuna?? Yuk. It better be some Albacore white or better. Wahoo?? Better be trimmed up really nice. Stop drinking the Hateraide.

Re: Do you eat amberjack?
Marcus, pretty much all tuna is frozen. Due to parasites it's a good idea.Mullet is baitI eat fish dip made with all that cat food,that's about it. I get called a fish snob all the time.Food snob in general .

Re: Do you eat amberjack?
When you hit the magic spot behind the eye where the hash mark crosses the lateral line there is no beat down at all!! Just a couple of twitches before you cut the throat to bleed them out while the heart still beats.

Re: Do you eat amberjack?
At home in Hawaii we generally don't bother with them, because they are usually full of worms and at risk for ciguatera.
I just took a couple of them down in baja over the last few days, at the urging of the panga captain . Meat was clean and delicious grilled over a low wood fire. Would eat it again, in that area , in a heartbeat . |
