I would realy like a few bluefish recipes

[Jackie-T]

can someone help me? A good friend of my husbands just gave us a couple of nice big bluefish. I very often do them on the grill but thought I would ask for the very capable help of the membership. So trot out your favorite bluefish recipes so I can take a look at them. Thank you in advance for all your help I do appreciate it.

Not so much of a recipe, but i like to soak the blue fish overnight in milk. it helps take away some of the oily, fishy taste often associated with them. My friends brother in law is the head chef at yale and taught us to do this.

Well in all my days of blue fishing on Long Island Sound this is my recipe:

Filet blue fish, rinse very well. Place filets on a pine board, salt and pepper to taste. Add chopped garlic and chopped onions (brown until clear), smother with chili sauce. Bake at 375 degrees until meat is flaky. Remove from oven, throw the fish away and eat the pine board! This is my personal favorite way of serving the blue fish, however, some of the family enjoy the fish more than the board. Enjoy.

Have a great day! Fishing1

I agree with Doug. My best recipe for blue fish is THROW THEM BACK. From what people have told me soaking them in milk does help. Also cut out the strip of dark meat before cooking. Grilling them also helps because a lot of the oil drains off while cooking.

Put them in the smoker Grinning1

A smoker. That sounds like an idea. Wonder what the neighbors would think?
Next time out, I am going to bring one home and try that.

Joe the barbecued blue fish came out very good thank you. only instead of the broiler I did them in my grill. I kind of thought you would have a few good recipes. Everyone who posted thank you I will get around to those recipes also. Dont think I will use a pine board maybe a hickory slab or butternut.
