How to cook a blue?

[Redbelly]

That thang sho' stinks in the icechest!

HEY REDBELLY, THE BEST THING TO DO IS WHEN YOU CATCH THE FISH CUT HIS GILLS AND LET HIM BLEED, WHEN YA DRESS THE FISH CUT OUT THE RED LINE DOWN BOTH SIDES, SKIN THE FISH AND CUT AROUND THE RIB CAGE AND DOWN THE BACK BONE. SOAK IN LEMMON JUICE AND BUTTER MIX WITH A LITTLE VINEGAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. FIRE UP THE BAR-B/Q GRILL AND COOK SLOWLY , ABOUT 6 MIN. ON EACH SIDE BASTEING WITH BAR B/Q SAUSE. IF THE FISH IS OVER ABOUT 2 POUNDS OF FILLET YA MAY HAVE TO COOK A LITTLE LONGER.
GOOD LUCK

I always heard that you nail the fish to a 2 x 4 the same length as the Bluefish, then you salt it really well, and coat it with butter and spices. Then you grill it for 30 minutes, take it off the grill, throw the Bluefish away and eat the 2 x 4.....

Any oily fish, like blues, works well on the grill, habatchi or in the smoker with your choice of seasoning.

Bleed them. then cook as desired...

[Redbelly]

Here's what I did....

Soaked about 1 hr in pineappl/orange juice, and balsamic vinegar, and some sesame seed oil.

I may have been a little heavy on the SS oil.

Took the fishy taste out, but the texture of the meat seemed a little dry, tasted Ok, not on the top of my list.

Sure wish I'd have kept that pompano..... ....that I thought was a yellotail jack...

They are great fried the day you catch them. Cut out the blood line and fry them up. Other than that, they make great pelican food.

great advice. the only thing I would add is drinking 3-4 frosties will make it, or any groceries, more better.
