Fish Curry

I just made this with the Jack I was given yesterday.
Whomever said Jacks were not edible lied.
It was great, no "fishy" or "bloody" taste, texture more like pork.
I'll be keeping everyone I catch.

Thanks, been wondering about jacks.

I will have to try this.

Yup. I gotta try this too. Jim egbert aka pescador has been telling me for a while that Jack is awesome(and more like pork like Carl said). Just haven't caught one small enough so I don't waste as much if I don't like it.

Speaking of wasting---how well do you think it would freeze?

If it is a steaky kind of fish it would probably freeze really well.

Pretty firm, I would think it would freeze well. I'll be freezing the rest tonight. Gotta get more vacuum bags....

Gonna try this tomorrow and gonna freeze the rest. Will let y'all know how good it is.

Gotta say this is a pretty tasty recipe. Tried a little piece if jack seared with a little salt and pepper. Will not eat it like that though. Wasn't that bad just had a metallic taste I guess. But in this curry it was awesome.

Glad you liked it! Hope you kicked it up a little with a few jalapeno's, I had to make it pretty mild since my boy doesn't like spicy..

I actually went a step further. I put two Serranos in it in place of the jalapenos. Still wasn't very spicy.

i donated the jack u used carl and am glad to hear that it was good gonna try this recipe! s

Thanks again for the jack!
