A buddy is bringing me some amberjack he wants me to cook. It will be my first time cooking it, so definitely let me know if you've got any suggestions for it.

Amberjack filets are great for simple grilling. Just a light coat of salt pepper and olive oil. Don't overcook.
Goes well with various sauces, but not necessary.

Great simple grilling fillets as already mentioned. One thing i will say to watch out for, depending where they were caught, i have consistently found them to be riddled with worms. ALmost every amberjack ive caught in the gulf stream off the north carlonina cost has been full of them.
Now, totally safe to eat when cooked but can gross a lot of people out and they are a pain to pull all of them and you probably wont get them all.

It's been a while but I made a basting "sauce" with butter, garlic, lemon, and red wine... Melt about 2 or 3 sticks of butter. Saute 3 or 4 pealed and sliced cloves of garlic (you just want to get the flavor out then remove the garlic). While it is simmering, juice 4 or 5 lemons and pour it in. Cook this until fragrance is no longer "sharp". Pour in a couple of cups or so of wine and let it cook down. Brush this on the fish from time to time if cooking slow. Sorry for no exact measurements, I've always "eye balled" the quantity.
This works particularly well for Redfish on the Half Shell (skin and scales left on the fillet). Damn! My mouth is watering. Y'all will have to excuse me, I need to put my bateau with my 4 1/2 motor into the marsh and get some redfish!!!!!

Now the Amberjack is something else. I love that fish. However, sometimes I get a bit bruised up after spearing a 65 lbs Amberjack. If you don't hit him just right and, you he doesn't jerk the speargun out of your hand, you're in for a ride... kinda like opening up a can of whoop-ass. I miss diving and spearfishing around the rigs... The old Chargrill got a work out after each trip. Sorry that son of a gun was discontinued.
