<SPAN id=_ctl1_ctlTopic_ctlPanelBar_ctlTopicsRepeater__c tl6_lblFullMessage>Do what the folks said above about cutting the bloodline out and soaking the fish in milk or buttermilk then cut the fish into chunks and batter them with a mixture of Hungry Jack pancake mix and beer....just enough to make a tempura like batter...not thick but not runny either. Fry until they float and are golden brown puffs. My dad fixed them like this when I was a kid growing up in Va. Beach. People eat a lot of bluefish on the East coast.
I would always cut the bloodline out then soak in salty water for an hour or two. Then I poached or steamed the fish until it flaked easily. Cool long enough to handle, then flake the fish and mix in enough mayo, crushed saltines, Old Bay to taste, a squirt of mustard, a little dash or two of Worcestershire sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste so that the fish holds together and form little cakes. Roll in more crushed saltines and then pay fry until golden brown and serve with cocktail sauce that has a good amount of horseradish in it. You would be surprised how much the blue fish will taste like "crab cakes" when done this way.
