Amberjacks are voracious predators, which feed on squid, fish, and crustaceans, and are thought to spawn offshore throughout most of the year. Juveniles can be caught in about 25 feet (7.6 m) of water near floating objects. Banded rudderfish, S. zonata, is the second-smallest amberjack.

Amberjack fillets are white with a tint of pink and a dark red bloodline. Flavor-wise, amberjack is very similar to the consistency of swordfish, with higher oil content. It has a somewhat stronger flavor than a grouper or a snapper and is best prepared fresh, not frozen.

Amberjacks are fast-swimming, predatory marine jacks (family Carangidae), most commonly the genus Seriola. They are pelagic to semi-pelagic fishes of coastal and offshore waters, valued in commercial and sport fisheries and (for some species) aquaculture.

Greater amberjack mature at about 3 to 4 years of age and spawn primarily from March to June on reefs and shipwrecks. A female can release between 18 and 59 million eggs during a single spawning season.
