nolani Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Caught and brought home some yellowtail and bonito today and wondering if you guys have some good recipies. Havent had either one so really curious how to cook them up on or off the kamado. More ideas the better! We like options especially with two young kids, lol. Looking forward to some fresh fish the next few nights! How about storage? Can we freeze what we dont eat right away? Thanks!

tarponfly49 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yellowtail is hands down one of the greatest fish you'll eat. My fav is small foil packets with onions, veggies, garlic, butter, and white wine. Salt and pepper to taste...grill them around 350 for just a few min until the fish turns white all the way through...then pull it off. FYI the more you over cook fish the "fisher" it will start to taste. [emoji6]. fatboy1271 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flypops Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yellowtail is very good if handled properly immediately after the catch. Ideally you want to bleed them and keep them somewhat cool, if just stuck whole in a gunny sack and exposed to the sun, with an occasional rinsing of the bag with sea water, the flesh will get mushy pretty quickly. Not bleeding the fish will cause a lot of blood to disperse into the flesh. You want to get rid of all that dark meat as it will be very strong. Bonita is cat food, as far as I'm concerned. Never could eat it, even if bled and smoked it was unacceptable. You may have different results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeperovdeflame Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Bonita is strong tasting fish and an acquired taste for most. I like it cut into chunks marinated in soy sauce and lemon juice and grilled kabob style sprinkled with a liberal amount of cracked pepper. You want to crisp up the outside while the inside is kept moist. IMO it needs to be pretty salty and crispy to be good. As stated yellow tail is delicious if treated correctly and bled almost immediately. I like it with lime and orange zest just a bit of smoked paprika and salt and pepper. It is also really good mesquite smoked with some raw green onions and crusty grilled garlic bread. Happy cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
