I don't see why not. I got the shad smell immediately from the lady fish but though they would be good scaled brined and smoked a lil like a herring maybe

And not sure why the jacks wouldn't be good some way filleted out

You ate a jack. Pompano may well be the best tasting fish there is. Firm and definitely not fishy tasting.

They’re easily confused for each other until one gets more familiar with them. If it was fishy tasting, it was a jack.
