There is debate on whether the small Jacks (1 to 2 lbs are
edible. There is no debate on the large ones. Absolutely
not!!!!!! I have cousin that lived in Homossasa, FL for
almost 10 years. He said he tried every method for cleaning
and cooking the Jack and finally gave up. The fish is just
plain nasty tasting.
On the catfish, if it is the Sail Cat
(anti-spam://www..spam/fishid/gulftopsailcatfish.gif) and
you can get past the slime to clean it, then the meat is
surprisingly good, if you are talking about the smaller
(commonly called the hardhead)

then it is worse than the big Jacks.
