Here's the only recipe I've ever heard for Jack Crevalle:

Season the fillet to your liking
Place the fillet on an oak plank
Place the board and fish on a hot grill until the fish is done
Throw away the fish and eat the board

those are some hard fighting fish

I agree. While bull red fishing, my dad hooked one. We had to pull anchor and chase this thing, between a bunch of other boats. Every time it got close to the boat, it take off on a reel-screaming run. I think it took over an hour to land. I think it was a half hour before we saw it and thought we had it almost whooped. I think if we had known sooner what it was, we would have just cut the line. Made for a lot of fun, though.
