: I know everyone has different tastes in fish and their ideas of them, but my question is this.
: Last saturday I was cleaning my fish and looked in the trash can and saw there was a Jack that someone had kept and cleaned. Ive always looked at them as "sporting fish" only. Since A.J's are part of the jack family can you eat a Crevalle? I know you can eat anything but are they good?
The question is still out there. Has anyone eaten one, and what is the problem? I have never kept one either due to the stories. They are an incredible fighter and I will abandon trout fishing any day to chase the big ones around (at least for an hour or so). Bonita is another fish that is not eaten here that is considered very good in other areas, such is the same with the mullet. Who Knows.......
