Yellow Jack Carpaccio

Yellow Jack Carpaccio

Do you want to like sashimi, but it gets boring? Love ceviche but it’s too much preparation? This yellow jack carpaccio sits perfectly in the middle! The fish stays raw and silky, but a light hit of lemon and olive oil brightens it without fully curing it. Truffle oil adds depth, while shallot, ginger, chili oil, and lemon zest bring lift and contrast. It’s clean, delicate, and layered; fresh but still rich.

Yellow Jack is the unsung hero of Florida. Often treated as a trash fish, they are underestimated, but a true Florida spearo knows what’s up! Clean, mild, perfect in any preparation, and puts up a fight! What more can you ask for?
