Try this recipe for Crevalle Jack. Fillet jack crevalle; leave skin on. Place fish, skin-side up, on a wet cedar plank. Season to taste. Place plank-side down on hot grill and close cover. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove fish from plank. Discard fish and eat the plank. :lick:
To fish, or not to fish, . . . those are the answers.

What BMan said...

My Dad taught me to take a sharp knife and make cuts down to the skin of a filet lengthwise and close together to make sure and
break up the Y bones....fry crisp....very sweet meat!

The entire pike family has the Y bones.
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

This recipe works good for Bowfin(Mudfish) too! :lick: However, I do like to turn it once at about the 15 min. mark. :-D
