Dayum. You coulda kept the vorm comment to yo’self. There’s a fairly new place down here called GT’s on the Bay that had the amberjack. It’s in The Cosmo’s/Cobalt Family. The waiter seemed very knowledgeable about various fishes. He talked about how mild amberjack is. we've done lunch there a few times, always amazed at how big it is and how few people are in there. pretty good salad bar & cup of gumbo

Grilling them or smoking will kill the parasites and you won’t even know it was in there as long as you didn’t see them ahead of time. My problem with AJ’s was inherited. My daddy hated them and will always would throw them back. Trigger fish is what we wanted to catch to fill up the box. Enjoy your vacation and try the Anchor Bar in OB if y’all get a chance. Like Peach said I was brought up that they are trash fish.

We used to go out of Pcola a lot and hit the Russian freighter, cleaned up on some AJ. A guy from fla fish and game surveyed at the ramp and told us not to worry about all the worms....We did our best to cut them out but sure we have ate a bunch too. I prefer bull nose dolphin over any other fish.

if (I know, big word to be so little) you have leftovers, amber jack makes a good "salad" sandwich, like tuna.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

Meh. It’s my give away fish. Not my favorite by far. Flounder, triggers, and grouper in no particular order. I concur, not a big Amberjack fan, can't remember the last time I ate any. I mean, nothing wrong with how it tastes when cooked right - like that appears to be - but they are known as a trash fish by many mainly b/c they will freaking eat anything out there...and then there's the worms. On top of all of that, there's the tight recreational regulations on them.

Triggerfish is still king but the bottom of the filet past the rib cage on a sheepshead is as close as anything comes to a substitute for trigger. The top filet is about as good as it gets too. This^^^

Since we're talking about eating good fish, I'll have to say that the snapper throats at Zeke's is the best I've had after a long day.

resturants blacken the amberjack so you can't see the worms BEFORE you eat........
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

50 years ago when we used to fish Destin we'd catch 30-50 kings and a bunch of Trigger Fish on a half day trip. Our dumb asses would keep the kings and give the Triggerfish to the mate!!!
Absolute pain in the butt to clean but IMO there is not a better eating fish that swims in the Gulf. We all used to regard them as just trash fish and bait stealers.
