I usually do escovitch jack, & was going to do some of it that way, but thought maybe someone out there had some other varieties of recipes that might work.....Comment

Re: Jack fish recipes?
Jack fish is a kind of mackerel. They do well, as you know, fried crisp and dressed with escoveitch seasonings
Fish tacos are very popular and I think would lend itself well to Jack fish. JaJewel, maybe you can use a fillet in this recipe:
<span style="font-weight: bold">Fish Tacos</span>
* 3 Tbsp. fresh cilantro leaves, minced
* 2 clv garlic, chopped
* 1 x juice of 2 limes
* 1/2 c. orange juice
* 2 ounce tequila
* 1/2 tsp grnd cumin
* 1/2 tsp grnd chili pwdr
* 1 lb fresh fish fillets
* 1/4 c. red onion, diced
* 8 med flour tortillas, warmed
* 2 c. romaine or possibly iceberg lettuce, shredded
* 1 c. jack cheese, grated
* 1 x ripe avocado, diced
* 1 c. fresh tomato, diced
Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine first 7 ingredients. Cover and chill for 30 min. Remove fish from marinade and throw away marinade. Cook fish either on barbecue, in skillet or possibly under broiler. Break cooked fish apart into small chunks. Place an equal portion of fish into each tortilla. Top with remaining ingredients.Comment
