Lesser Amberjack

B tier

Lesser amberjack (Seriola fasciata) is a smaller, banded amberjack of the western Atlantic—firm mild flesh similar to greater amberjack but in more manageable portions. Good for whole small fish or modest fillets. Grill or pan-sear; treat bloodline as with other jacks. Less common on menus by name, often lumped as amberjack. A distinct species for accurate cataloguing and regional Gulf/Atlantic cookery.
