Re: Cooking mangrove jack
Sounds like an awesome jack, I would bake it with any flavours that you prefer. I also have to say that they have to be the best eating estuary fish, better than barra. Was that jack caught in the creeks or reef, as i sounds bigger than your average creek jack.

Choppa
Will have to try that one.Damn it looks good.
Normally when i keep a Jack i keep it alive till i get home.
I will pre-heat the oven while i clean and prepare the fish.
Preperation.
Gut ,gill and scale.
3 or 4 scores down each side and fill with garlic butter.
Gooooood squeeze of lemon with a dash of salt and pepper.
Wrap in alfoil then straight into the oven.
If the fish is still kicking you have done well
Cheers Dazza

Re: Cooking mangrove jack
I think that good eating fish (like jacks) should not be "fooled around" with, best leave all the onions and chillies and stuff for the lesser eating quality fish (like Barra) Whiting and Snapper etc and the like should be cooked simply and not over cooked to savour the flavour of quality fresh fish, just my opinion of course, but, it is what I do myself.
