What's the word on freezing amberjack?

I've always eaten them fresh. I vacuum seal everything I freeze and thought I might give it a try.

You are good to go! I did one (vacuum sealed @ year) on the grill and though dang this is not going to be anygood, cooked it til JUST done and it flaked and tasted like I just caught it.

BE SURE TO VACUME SEAL, DO NOT JUST FREEZE IN WRAP UP PAPER, THEY GET MUSHEY AND DO NOT HAVE MUCH FLAVOR.

So, it just makes them mushy when you freeze them.

If I cant eat an AJ fresh - I'll throw it back.

If I catch a reef donkey, I throw it back.
