eating jack trevelys?????

[merry marlin]

Ok guys! Here the african is gonna shock you again! I BET that if our cook from Sénégal made those Jack Crevalle meatballs you wouldn't make the difference with the meatball sandwich from Subway....
Yes, here we are very fortunate to have good eating fish but remeber most of the fish in this country is eaten in fish sticks... You could throw Jacks in those it wouldn't make a difference!

Welcome Dutchjigger! Good to have ya here.

Unfortunately the crevalle falls in the terrible category along with most trevallies. However, pompanos rock, as do yellowtails, lookdowns and most runners. Amberjacks are in the middle between good & bad.

I have had blue star trevally and it was white meat and very good, on the other hand, you could not force feed me crevalle.

strange how so manny people say the meat is bad because i reely enjoyed eating the jack i caught , but the america skipper i fish with when i go offshore also was laughing when i told the story , strange ??!!!
the local people eat them too the eat all the fish they get
i hear people say they are wurmy what does that mean???
can you see the wurms when you clean the fish or are the microscopic small?
hope tooo here from u

Lots of fish have worms in the meat. Yes you can see them. Yes they taste just like the fish. Speckled trout have worms, redfish as well.

Be sure to cut off their tail and bleed them upon catch. If you cook them well enough you should not have to worry about the worms. The worms usually accumulate near the tail.
