JSR Report post Posted September 11, 2023 In my opinion, yellowtail is best raw serve with lemon, soy and sliced jalapenos 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted September 11, 2023 Piccata as mentioned above is good. Raw is also good. If you’re doing tacos just grill it. Pan seared and served on a salad is awesome too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

25-06 Report post Posted September 11, 2023 I was thinking about frying it up and making Baja style tacos with it. Doesn't seem like many people fry it though. Guess I'll just grill it for tacos. Thanks for everyone's advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess I'll just grill it for tacos. Thanks for everyone's advice. Nothing wrong with pan frying it. I'd brine it with kosher salt and brown sugar for an hour or two then pat it dry and set it on a wire rack in the refrigerator for an hour while you mix up a glaze. Brush it on and let sit for 30 minutes or do and pan fry in on medium high. I have cooked it in a non stick pan that has slots in it ment for cooking bacon.

AZ RANGER Report post Posted September 12, 2023 I love yellowtail. Probably my favorite fish to eat. You can cook it pretty much anyway you want and it will be good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A light sear on fish like that is the way to go if you’ve never cooked it. It’s still rare and it’s cooked. Add your favorite sauce and serve over a bed of greens. You won’t hate it.
