    Don't like them Bluefish!!
    Me Niether !!
    unless I use the following recipe


    ingredients:
    Bluefish filets-as many as you want
    canned crushed tomatoes-enough to cover your filets
    minced onion--dried
    Montreal steak seasoning


    place filets on aluminum foil-on grill

    cover with crushed tomatoes

    add some dried minced onion

    shake on Montreal steak seasoning-use liberaly

    grill till done!!



    this recipe works with many types of fish-but it really works on well on bluefish

    the grill sure helps; after cleaning if don't cook right away, I store 'em in milk. throw em o9ut rather than freeze em

    The other trick is to bleed them immediately after catching. If you go down to some websites from NcC, such as reddrumtackle or nc watermen, and ask the question, you will get several answers. I hear of grilling or smoking them often. The milk helps also. I don't eat them, so I wouldnt know.

    I've had smoked and it's great! Otherwise I just don't eat any over two days old. The smaller ones, at least, have a very mild flavor when fresh.

    Make sure you cut out ALL of the dark red meat along the lateral line.

    Try, smoking them. Scale, gut and cut off the head. Left overs make a great dip for crackers.

    That,skinning them and bleeding them like posted,and they taste alot like stripers.The dark meat & skin is the strong tasting meat.You'll waste some meat but the results are worth it.The cheeks are very good on the larger ones too.

    Simple recipe:

    Cover the blue fillet with bacon and broil in oven until the bacon is crispy/done...the blue should also be done once the bacon is crispy. Enjoy!
