Greater Amberjack
A tier
Greater amberjack is the market name for large Seriola dumerili sold as steaks and loins—meaty, firm, and satisfying on the grill with a mild-sweet jack flavour. Bleed at capture; the bloodline can dominate if neglected. Blacken, roast, or slice for tataki-style sears. Ciguatera risk exists in some reef-associated large jacks—know your source waters. A sportfishing prize that earns its place on the plate when handled well.
