I did. Marinated for 24 plus hours. Raised direct at 400 for approx 10 minutes a side with a goal of 140. Went just a bit too long and not enough pink (for anyway). Will definitely try it again. SHWMBO loved the leftover pork. I had my hopes on a tenderloin sandwich on a potato roll but she beat me to the pork!mahenryak said:@THEBuckeye joining this thread late but just to be clear I was wondering if you used the jerk seasoning on your pork tenderloin, as well? Thanks.New Albany, Ohio -
Thank you for adding the marinating info. Sounds like it was very popular with SWMBO, which is always a good thing.THEBuckeye said:I did. Marinated for 24 plus hours.

No pimento for me... what I don't know won't cost me! LOL.
And I'm actually quite happy with what I've had so far; chicken breasts and thighs, pork chops and a couple of small pork roasts. All outstanding. Thighs and chops were the best.

My last order for Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning this past January was for a case of the stuff thru Amazon. It was actually from a vendor in the UK and was sent via air mail. All dozen jars arrived just fine so your problem may have been due to more than just air transport.mahenryak said:P.S. / FWIW I recently ordered some WalkersWood Jamaican Jerk seasoning through Amazon and unfortunately it showed up with the seals popped and slight leakage in both bottles. I chose to throw it out and contacted Amazon for a refund. I think it was a cabin pressure issue on the airplane. (90% of things shipped my way end up on a commercial jet) I've since ordered some Busha Browne's hoping that maybe I'll luck out with the bottles. We'll see.

Thank you. Good to know. Maybe I'll give it another shot once the dust has had some time to settle. (I don't want to have to request two refunds for the same product in a very short time period.)HeavyG said:My last order for Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning this past January was for a case of the stuff thru Amazon.

mahenryak, try the Grace brand. I found it here in CT at Walmart of all places. That's what I used for this cook.

I have had Jerk fish from a restaurant, but it was no where near as hot as I would expect Jerk to be. From what I have read, chicken, pork, fish, & shrimp are common jerk cuisine dishes.Legume said:Have you tried fish? Is that a thing with jerk or a bastardization?

fljoemon, thanks for the recipe. I've only tried black beans and rice (NOLA style). Very similar recipe. Unfortunately, it seems I can't have coconut milk.

You know, I just checked MY walmart and now it says they are out. 2-3 days ago, it said In Stock and they had at least a dozen when I got there. A run on Grace?! Or just poor online inventory info? Haha. I guess if ya wanna know, ya gotta go!Legume said:no bueno at walmart near me, but world market seems to stock walkers woodI hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Good point. I just checked and it looks like I'm out of luck in that they are not available locally up here. I do see that they carry Grace, WW and others online, though.Carolina Q said:You can check online for your store. That's how I knew mine had it in stock. And it was actually there! LOL

I was very disappointed in the only jerk fish I tried to make. I used a jerk "paste" that got really soupy when I processed the onions, and I was wondering if maybe I should have squeezed out the onion juice or something. But I marinated the fish (whole red snapper, as I recall), and it was good, but very, very mild. The jerk flavoring was just barely perceptible, and it wasn't hot at all. It didn't taste very "grilled," either. Good fish, but it almost tasted like I'd just baked it without seasonings in the oven.Zmokin said:I have had Jerk fish from a restaurant, but it was no where near as hot as I would expect Jerk to be.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to do it better?

@Theophan .. I have done Yellow Tail Snapper Jerked with Escovitch Sauce. Very simple cook .. Cut slits in the fish and rub the fish with any good Jerk seasoning like Walkerswood or Grace or Spur Tree and let it marinate for about half hour. Get the BGE temps up in the range of 375 to 400. I grill it raised direct and I grill the fish for about 5 to 6 minutes until it is fully cooked. I have used a Weber Fish Basket to hold the fish as this helps in flipping the fish and it doesn't stick to the grates. The Escovitch sauce is just white onions sliced thinly, couple of scotch bonnet peppers chopped real small, bunch of all spice berries and 2 cups of white vinegar simmered down in a sauce pan. Once the fish comes off the grill, pour the simmered down Escovitch sauce right over it .. amazing flavor and goes real well with rice & peas.LBGE & MiniOrlando, FL

I'm going to order some and try it.

The Spur Tree is more paste-like. While flavor is good, I prefer to have some liquid too for marinating and table sauce.New Albany, Ohio

Busha Browne is a paste and pretty good, I'll have to try walkerswood.

Spur Tree is more paste-like than WW? Didn't think that possible. You can stand a spoon up in WW. For that matter, you can probably stand a pipe wrench up in WW! That's why I've been adding a tbls or two of evoo to the zip bag. Just so i can mush it around a bit better.THEBuckeye said:The Spur Tree is more paste-like.

I grilled it direct, not raised, had marinated it in a home-made jerk "rub" that turned out more like a slushee than a rub, but for more than an hour, and even so there was hardly any jerk flavor.fljoemon said:@Theophan ..

The fish was delicious, mild, very slightly smoky, but I was quite disappointed in the lack of jerk flavor. With fish I wouldn't want overpowering seasonings, but this hardly had any. Your pouring the sauce over the fish when it comes off the grill certainly would get some flavor in there! The basket sounds good, too. The fish skin stuck to my grid... In a lot of ways it was a disaster, really, but the actual fish meat itself was mild, sweet, delicate, really good; it just didn't taste much at all like jerk. I was quite disappointed.
Thanks for the tips!

I've never had WW. Just offered my take on Spur tree. Another thought is to mix some apple cider, OJ, Soy and EVOO to the paste ot mush it aroundCarolina Q said:Spur Tree is more paste-like than WW?
