My girlfriend, both my sisters and mom went on a 12 hour trip on the Big E yesterday. My chica got a nice amber jack and when they cleaned the fish they sent home the amber jack rib cage. I remembered reading a previous thread about grouper ribs, is it common to eat amber jack ribs the same way or should I use them for crab bait?

I had fried drum ribs in Baffin and they were fantastic. I say give em a try.

I'm with palms up, sounds like they would keep them if they were theirs.

I have had them lots of times, usually fried. Just cut them apart and fry them. Eat em like a drumstick, very good.

that's funny, i just got off capt. john tonight and had a AJ cleaned. Same thing; They put the ribs in there too. I am going to grill them tomorrow night.

As a follow up, I grilled the AJ ribs after marinating in some off the shelf sauce and they were great.

you can fillet the rib meat off the cage a little, then pull each rib off one by one and it leaves a nice chunk of meat.

Big snapper ribs are good too! Just think how much better for you than pork ribs they are. Personally, I am an indiscrimanent omnivore so I probably eat the ribs of most mammals, reptiles, and fish.

Bon Apetite,
