With the knowledge that Jacks are not very tasty...not edible by some counts.... I tried a similar receipe yesterday when a couple of fish were offered to me by a fisherman who was catching them and throwing them back.
Four filets on a baking pan well oiled with olive oil,skin side down, filets,brushed with olive oil, salt and pepper, baked about an hour at 350 degrees.
Not very good.
Flesh is dark and strong. I will try...should more filets come my way, the butter and bread crumbs receipe given here, but I think this fishs' time, as an edible variety, has not yet come.
An aside: Some time ago, before the net ban, I was dining at the restaurant on US 27 in Crystal River when I saw the fish house next door in the same building accept and unload, four big skiffs piled high with Jack. I asked the proprietor, given that the fish is not considered an edible fish,a trash fish actually, who would buy them.
The Japanese, he said. All they can get and at a good price.
I voted for the net ban.
