Grilled or Baked Amberjack

by | Mar 8, 2022 | Recipes, Sea Food

From Florida, this is the time of year for fresh Amberjack. Amberjacks are in the same family as Pompano another great eating Florida fish.

If you don’t like overly fishy-tasting fish, amberjack is the fish for you. It is a firm, white meat fish with a clean, mild flavor but the texture is meaty like a Tuna. It is low in fat and packs a lot of protein.
