There are several Marlin Tournaments in Jamaica, most on the east from MoBay to Port Antonio. My understanding these tournaments, because there are so many boats and fish caught, are tag and release. As far a catching a Marlin on a charter I do not know what the laws are as far as keeping it / them. I have seen several in Treasure Beach and as is the case little goes to waste. So fresh Marlin on a restaurant menu??? I guess it depends on what fresh means?? Caught that day? I am sure that Marlins have been caught off Negril out in deeper water before so it is possible. Any Marlins caught in other Jamaican waters probably are sold to restaurants in that area. I agree with Mooseman fresh is better but frozen can be almost as good.
