From The Admirals Kitchen!!<\/h2>\n

A challenging game fish, roosterfish isn’t usually considered a tasty food fish. Its distinctive dorsal fins — seven thin, long spines — rise when the fish becomes excited, giving the fish its common name. An in-shore species found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from southern California to Peru, its meat is tough and has a strong flavor. Look to the cuisine of the folks who reside on the shores near the roosterfish\u2019s habitat for the proper ways to cook this beautiful fish.<\/h4>\n

Instructions<\/strong> Fillet the fish with a sharp fillet knife. Place the fillet on a work surface, skin side down. With larger game fish like roosterfish, hold the tail as you slice away the skin from the meat, placing your hand on the skin as you work your way up the fillet. Remove the bloodline; roosterfish have large bloodlines, which can give the fish a strong flavor. Once you remove the fillet from the skin, lay the fillet skin side up to expose the bloodline. Cut about 1\/2-inch deep along both sides of the bloodline in a “V” shape to completely remove it. Cut the roosterfish fillets into around cubes, sprinkle them with salt and black pepper and marinate them for 30 minutes in lime juice. Saute the fish in a skillet over high heat until lightly browned, then lower the heat to medium and cook for about five more minutes. Like other members of the jack family, roosterfish has firm flesh and flakes Rooster Fish Information!!!<\/strong> The distinctive dorsal fins of the roosterfish normally remain retracted in a deep groove along the fish’s back, but when the fish is excited the fins rise. There are two dark blue or black, curved bands on the flanks. One begins from the front and the other from the back of the first dorsal fin. Both run diagonally down the flanks towards the front of the anal fin then curve smoothly and run along the flanks to the tail base. The dorsal spines are banded with alternate dark and light stripes and the lower base of the pectoral fins is black. It is a predator of small fishes. When hooked or in pursuit of prey it will raise its dorsal fin like a flag and leap repeatedly, greyhounding over the surface. Fishing methods are trolling or casting baits and lures, or live bait fishing from a boat or shore. The roosterfish has strong local commercial value. The flesh is tasty and of good quality \u00a0 B\"jcs-sportfishing-cabo-logo21-300x249\"<\/a>lvd Marina Plaza de la Danza, Cabo San Lucas,<\/strong> Los Cabos,\u00a0 Baja California Sur, Mexico<\/strong> Email:\u00a0jcsport@caboguide.zzn.com<\/a><\/strong> Website:\u00a0http:\/\/www.jcsportfishing.com<\/a><\/strong> Video: http:\/\/youtub.e\/zNBk33jCjCk<\/a><\/strong> Dialing from U.S.\/CAN 011 52 1 624-147-5821<\/strong> Office\/Home 011 52 624-0143-1267<\/strong> Dialing Locally: 044-624-147-5821<\/strong> Dialing Locally: Office\/Home 143-1267<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
