Anybody out there know an awesome way to prepare blue fish? Any suggestions are appreciated

I'm one of the few people who actually eat bluefish. I like them and they are a very healthy fish to eat. Right up there with Salmon. I bleed mine out and then soak them in buttermilk for about 30 minutes before cooking. I also remove the blood line. (I do this on any fish). Then either fry with your favorite fry mix or cook in a skillet with butter and your favorite dry rub. It will come out just fine.

People will tell you that they are trash........personally, I've fried up batches of it without telling folks until after the meal. They never believe me.

I remove the bloodline and soak them in milk until the milk turns a pinkish color. Usually 2-3 hours. bread 'em and fry 'em. Some of the best fish ever.

what about grilling them on the barbeque?

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.
