Soooooo...bluefish?Any of you ever eaten them? They're certainly thick enough right now down at Phillips Inlet. I had them once when I was a kid and didn't like it, at all. |

Eat them fresh. Fillet and cut out the blood line and fry'em up.

Over on the Atlantic coast piers they will fight you for bluefish. I've seen them roll grills out on the pier and grill Bluefish fillets and eat them on white bread.
Over here no one seems to eat them. I caught a bunch of big ones on a charter boat many years ago and we filleted them and cut the blood line out and they were very good baked or grilled. Weagle |

Re: Soooooo...bluefish?
I have filleted them while still flopping and cut out the red line and fried them. Pretty good. Do not freeze them as they eat good fresh only. |

I think the ones I had were previously frozen, they were horrible. I still remember to this day, I was six and my mom put the fish in some kind of vegetable soup. HORRIBLE | ||

Do them just like you do spanish and they are as good as spanish. | ||

nothing wrong with bluefish. As stated bleed them and fry them up. I've also fried them up after being frozen and they were just as good. Just my opinion.
I read somewhere that besides a samon they are the healthiest fish to eat. Although I'm sure that frying them doesn't help the healthy part...ha! |

These big blues we're catching lately are the PERFECT size for eating...any bigger and they'll start to get a big oily and yucky...but as stated previously...FRESH...and ICE THEM and KEEP them that way!!! | ||

Use same day. Keep on ice. Filet, skin, cut blood lines out. Coat well with yellow mustard. Then coat with cornmeal and fry. Excellent. The vineger in the mustard takes away the oily fishy taste. Do the same with AJ.

I've marinated them in tariaki sauce and grilled them. They tasted just like tariaki sauce. Fact is just about any fish will work with enough tariaki sauce. | ||

What if you don't like teriaki sauce??
