My father in law and I just got back from a Blue Fish trip.  What a day!  Never been Deep sea fishing myself, and caught 3 and he caught 5 in 3 hours.  Now we need to know the best way to cook them.  anyone have any ideas or recipes?  please help.  Thanks Greg

Hey i read your post. Me and my buddy were out fishing in the chesapeke bay and caught 3 nice ones. There two good ways. You can one smoke them or two put them in a skillet with vegtables the fish should absorb the taste just dont eat the vegtable they will taste fishy. That is the onle bad thing about bluefish is they have a fishy taste.

    If you are catching large blues, you have to remove the dark flesh which contain oil.  That strip generally will spoil the taste for you with blues if you don't.  I like to filet the fish and then I put old bay on them, a little salt & pepper, a layer of sweet vadalia onion.  A small amount of either olive oil or, I also like Parkay, is rubbed on the filets, then wrap them in aluminum foli and bake in the oven at 350 degrees until done.  If you filet them, you can also fry them as you would any other filet.  The smaller blues, called snappers, aren't really a problem as far as oil content, but the big ones definitely have to have the strip removed to taste good. 

    I fish the Solomons, but the USCG Station, and in O.C..  If you want to have a ball catching snapper blues, fish in front of Harrisson's Restaurant in O.C. when the lights are on.  You'll notice all the birds diving for the bait fish going through the Inlet.   Every cast will bring up a snapper blue.

    Hope this helps.  Hdriver   

Put them on the grill on a cedar plank with lemon and garlic. When it gets flakey, throw the fish away and eat the plank.
