Blackened Skipjack

Spicy Blackened Skipjack

Skipjack is a tasty fish when handled and prepared correctly. After catching bleed the fish and ice immediately. Fillet like any other tuna, removing the dark "blood line" of the fish. You will have four small loins when you are done.

I like to steak the little loins as shown in the photo. They come out like little medallions.

It is an important commercial and game fish, usually caught using purse seine nets, and is sold fresh, frozen, canned, dried, salted, and smoked.

1 Lemon
