What To Make With Your Yellow Jack

Use our Fish Recipes Database to find recipes that use different Yellow Jack parts. These “off cuts” include but aren’t limited to; the collars, ribs, head, skin, blood line and the fish frame. You can also do more with the internal organs of the fish, but I don’t have much experience with that yet. The video above will be the best way to follow this break down process, but I have also included a how to guide below as well.

How I Got This Fish

I got this fish a few weeks ago when I was out spearfishing off of Dania Beach. I was actually out scoping out some spots for Grouper season when I came across this guy. I hadn’t shot a Yellow Jack in quite some time so I decided to take this one to make some new recipes.

It definitely was not the biggest Yellow Jack I’ve ever gotten, but it was big enough to make a few meals out of for Brittany and I! These are one of the best eating fish in South Florida in my opinion. I also did some experimenting with some new recipes using this fish that should be coming out soon!
