This is a dark red fish. Most people throw them back. Now I know why. But you can always use any fish you want to for the fish tacos.

Time 50m

Yield 1 Batch

Number Of Ingredients 8

jack fish (also known as Jack Crevalle)
buttermilk (or milk with a tablespoon of white vinegar)
tortilla (flour or corn)
jalapeno, chopped
onion, chopped
tomatoes, chopped
lettuce, chopped
salsa (of choice regular, papaya, mango, whatever you prefer)

Steps:

  • Fillet the Jack if small enough; otherwise, use a hacksaw to cut steaks 3/4 of an inch thick. Place in a freezer bag after barely covering the fish with buttermilk. Get as much air out of the bag as possible and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
  • Take the Jack out of the bag. The buttermilk will be dark pink and the Jack will be about the same shade. Don't dry it. Put it in a shallow baking pan and bake it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Don't bother to preheat. When the 30 minutes are up, remove all bones and skin. Chop the meat.
  • Dampen your tortillas with a little water and heat in the microwave.
  • Lay all the ingredients out and let people build their own. Feel free to add guacamole or other yummy additions.
  • The number of people you serve will depend on the size of the fish. Leftovers are great!
