It's a good thing a lot of people haven't tried this fish, Giant Trevally. I think it is the best non fishy tasting fish I have ever eaten.

Those are hella fish - there are very few that can fight as hard like one from the Jack family! I don't know about eating them though, like barracuda they are subject to carry ciguatera which can be deadly to us.
It's a roll of the dice much like red tide contaminated shellfish.

Didn't know that, not like I'll ever catch one again. Found a place in India that sells it.

Depending on location, a full day for Pelagics on a boat like that would run $1500 - $3500 plus (typically) a 40-50% crew tip if you had a good time.
And the cruise was less than $1500 per person for 7 days, with open bar and meals and everything included, except for parking is $40 a day in NYC.

Last time I was there we were going to go out on a boat, but I made the rookie mistake of getting a sunburn on like day 2. That Bermuda sun is a bit hotter than we see in NY.
