Phone 615 Posted July 26, 2018 All, My one and only known experience with jewfish was very mild, not fishy and poor texture. I don't believe I've seen that fish before. Are they common Bob? Phone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobj 189 Posted July 26, 2018 Black jewfish, or, according to some experts, the black croaker, is a very much sought after fish due to its fighting and eating qualities. It is not too common, not being targetted by the pro net fishos. I have only eaten jewies twice and really enjoyed the flesh, being fairly dry and flakey but one of its better points is that even 70 lb fish are good eating, whereas those at about 2-5 lbs, are called 'soapies'...A close cousin is called teraglin, or 'trag' to the average fisho and rarely grows to 12 lbs but is also high on the amateurs' list. Odd thing is the mouth is bright yellow, verging on orange. Cheers, Bobj. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
