For years I would discard this fish because I was always told they were not good to eat. Not long ago my son tried some and told me it actually tastes really good. Trusting his judgement I decided to try cooking some up. I was shocked at how good it actually tastes. The meat has a unique texture and flavor that you won't find in other fish.
If you've cooked Jack Crevalle before and didn't like it I'm encouraging you to try my method of cleaning and cooking them. You just might think twice about tossing one back into the ocean ever again.

Dad was a commercial fisherman in the islands so grew up eating jacks of all kind especially for Sunday lunch. Take a big one that would fit in the oven. Scale em gut em stuff em up with onions celery thyme rosemary and lime or lemon. Season the outside with salt and pepper put in the oven on low covered with foil, most likely 225\250. Will have to check with mom. For about 2 - 3 hours. Go to church. When you get back the whole block be smelling good. Serve with your choice of sides. Take a nap.
Bloodline, too, huh?
@@egotrip13 yes
Over in Hawaii small Jack's are known as Papio larger ones as Ulua and are considered great eating. From my experience a 2 pounder wrapped in foil with lemon salt and pepper tossed on the grill served with a spicy dipping sauce and ice cold beer finishes a great day at the beach.
Can't say I've ever kept a Jack. Heard recipes for them where you season them up, cook them on a plank of cedar wood, toss the Jack and eat the cedar plank! 😆😂
Yup worked like a charm...Mr. Jack C. is trash no more in my book. Very simple and tasty recipe, having the crust on the fish was perfect. Going to try the same technique with sail cats and hardheads. Thanks again.
We like the small Jack Crevlle as well. I've found that the meat is so firm it makes it easy to separate from the ribs and end up with a filet that is a good bit larger.
Thanks for the tips on the filet process.
I've got notifications on but haven't seen any for the last 8 videos, I had to manually go to your channel, glad you're still uploading, 🤙🏽
I’ve had the same problem with some channels. UA-cam just does weird things sometimes. Thanks for coming over, greatly appreciated. It’s become a habit for me to click on the subscriptions icon instead of waiting for UA-cam to notify me.
I love Jack Crevelle .. again, another great video, .. Thanks JC
Appreciate the video!! JC listens to his fans like no other! Asked for a jack catch n cook and in just 3 days later.....BOOM, Thanks again man
I would've never thought about fish tacos with the Jack, but that's something I'd have to try one day. Jack crevalle is good anyway, and you prepared it perfectly bro! Nice 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😁
Never tryed eating a Jack I’ve tryed lady fish nuggets there delicious
Thanks for watching. Those Ladyfish look like a lot of work to cook them.
Nice one JC. Jacks are good eating fish.. try sweet and sour jack crevalle. Very delicious..🎣🎣
Fish tacos are the best! I'll have to give jacks a try, your way. Thanks for sharing!
You get a decent slab off those and it's the identical method for cutting up freshwater panfish.
great vid bud.... I keep my jacks and enjoy the catching and the eating....
I like that recipe for Jack Crevalle, good job JC!
Never tried Jack Crevalle before, I did try Almaco Jack, I was hard to tell the difference between the snapper and the Almaco Jack. Good video JC 👍
I love the video, it is good to know Jack's are good to eat. I am a snow bird and live in Wisconsin. there are many fish I eat here that locals will not take the time to clean and cook properly and then they tell everyone they are garbage fish. I agree the mudline/bloodline on a fish has to go. Some fish have a wider line than others. but lets face it, fresh is the best. Cant wait to try this next time I get to fish in Florida. Keep up the great videos.
Great vid jc tytyty now I know how to fry up Jack's you the man good luck today catching a snook it will happen today I have faith!!!!!
Love keeping a Jack Crevalle every now and then, going to try this method next time. ThNks JC 🔥🔥🔥
Really enjoyed your video. Great information and thank you for the filet method, it's always good get a refresher. I caught two huge jacks today and I will certainly use this method. A friend of mine who is a chef told me that he brines bloody and gamey fish in salt water for about 1/2 hour and then in fresh water for another 1/2 hour before frying and it removes the strong taste. Have you ever tried that?
Since I live where I can't keep any snook, trout, or redfish. Lee County Florida. Snapper and other "trash fish" are on the menu. I boil the jack, and make a tuna type salad.
You can't keep trout or a red in Lee?
@@pawpawsplants8728 At the time when this was posted. The Charlotte Harbor region had a very serious algae bloom. Decimated large populations of fish. I'm sure now the limit is one per person, in a "slot" size limit. To be sure, I would look it up.
Thanks JC we are going to give it a try.
Awesome video. Those small jacks are fine to eat.
Just missing the hot sauce! Nice video JC love the catch and cooks!
Never tried jack but i may give it a try after this👍
Hi JC thank you Sir for all your videos! I got my first Kayak thanks to all your videos. I went for the old town 106 powered by Minn Kota will pick it up on Sunday 😎😎
Awesome choice. You're going to love that kayak. Super stable, fast and fun to fish out of.
I think the texture of jacks is better than a lot of other fish. They are great. Bleed them, ice them and eat fresh. Even the dark blood line doesn't taste fishy when u do this.
Your fishing skills are 10\10 to
ANOTHER BANGER FROM JC BOYYY!!!
your cooking is better than my moms. 10\10
The guy you're talking about who cut his hand sounds like Blu Gabe lol.
Yep, that was the video. I was really reminded watching that video of how quickly accidents happen. That knife he was using was extra razor sharp for sure.
Fantastic content!!
J.C., I'm in the upper South, Lower Midwest and I've never seen one of those jacks. But it occurs to me that this technique could be used on another hard-fighting, bloody-meated fish as well--the common carp. If I can get my hands on one, I will let you know how it works out. Buffalo chicken sauce sounds like a great idea too.
VERY good- thx!
Good stuff. Good vids.
Nice vid JC. Pretty new subscriber here. Been playing catch up on your vids. How did you bleed the jack? And is it the same for all fish. I catch a lot of reds and saw an vid where you push your thumb into the rear of the pec fin. I didn’t really feel like it made a difference. What’s your thoughts on the best way to bleed fish? TIA
Thanks for watching. I just cut in the throat area.
I gill, gut, and scale the jack crevalle, brine them, and put them on the smoker. There's enough flesh on the head to eat. I never tried to fry them, I'll give it a shot.
Why do I enjoy catch and cooks lol.
JC, I love Jacks too!!! Especially the way you did them. You Rock! It's actually pronounced Jack Cre-vall....not Jack Cre-vall-e. Your lesson for the day, Love you man!!!
So interesting, in the Caribbean we call this fish a Cavalli, no r and we do add the last e syllable.
Technically it's Crevalle Jack. But people always turn around the order and say Jack Crevalle.
You’re talking about BlueGabe. I saw that too, that was rough haha
Yeah, that was a great reminder to be careful for sure. Thanks for watching.
Huh, i had the impression they were kinda just trash fish. Glad to know you can eat them after all. Thanks 🤙
Love your videos brother but I'll pass on eating any kind of Jack. There are to many better tasting fish to eat. Keep up the good work JC.
I am keeping my jacks next time !!!
If I’m right, the guy he’s referring to that cut his hand filleting a fish in a foreign country is the UA-camr Deermeatfordinner when he was in Bahamas
I think it was his brother, Blue Gabe? Thanks for watching!
goodness those tacos looked good
I've always thrown them back because they are considered less than ideal table fare, not any more.
Good video. Fyi don't ever cook with seed oil. It's so inflammatory for your body. Either cook with avocado, coconut oil, or olive oil. 10,000 times healthier. Your body with thank you
Fish seemed a bit overcooked but final tacos looked good.
Is there a size that’s to big to taste good? And what’s to little to harvest?
I harvest the smaller ones. I've never tried cooking a large jack. You can check the FWC for regulations or the Fish Rules app.
My Grandfather told my dad, and my dad told me as well…
“Haste makes waste.”
I have cought jacks and let them go I heard you couldn't eat them
This next time I catch a jack I will try this thanks🐟
I helped a stranger land some bigger ones on a fishing bridge in the Keys. He swore they were great Sashimi or at least the more fatty bottom loins were and they fed his family well. I keep losing all of my intentionally caught jacks to Goliath Groupers :( Redemption coming soon...(Mullet Run 2021)
I don't think "the only way to cook jack" is to fry it into jerky lol
I will trade you 3 jacks for one pompano any day of the week. Neighbor’s cat wont eat those jacks- way to fishy.
