Vinegar does not. As a result I over broiled and over cooked. Pretty much a waste. No worries Scott and thanks for the feedback. That stinks to hear the dish did not come out well. I will hopefully start catching bluefish soon here on Cape Cod, as they are just now coming into season. Just tried this and it was great! So glad that I found your recipe when my husband brought home a bluefish and we had no idea how to cook it!
I ended up needing to broil it for about 5 extra minutes to get it caramelized but otherwise followed your recipe exactly. Hey- I found this recipe after my boyfriend brought home a bluefish.
We just tried it and it was delicious! Thanks for the recipe! I used the vinegar marinade recipe on my expensive blue fish filet and it was a disaster. It was like drinking vinegar and the fish was wasted. Absolutely awful. That is what happens when you do not follow your instincts. Well, at least I tried and I hope I will not be thirstily all night from the vinegar. It sounds like you left the vinegar on the fish too long, which makes this fish way too salty and vinegary. If you ever try it again, just marinate it for 30 minutes or even 20 minutes and that should be better.
Thanks and happy cooking! In my opinion, the often scorned bluefish is the most delicious citizen of the underwater kingdom with the possible exception of the mighty blue crab. I echo the praise of those who smoke this wonderful fish but generally find that I marinate it for an hour in soy sauce, lemon juice and olive oil. Then, after sprinkling it with salt, pepper, minced garlic and minced fresh ginger, I bake it in a degree oven for ten minutes until it is barely set.
Serve it with a pilaf and boiled greens or salad. Jacques Pepin also writes of his love of the vinegar and wine preparation. Put some cajun dry rub on with fresh basil. Then make a dijonaise sauce and apply.
Fire up charcoal grill put some cherry wood on smoke for an hour or two and enjoy. Ill have to give that a try next time. I have a great smoked bluefish dip recipe from ben sargents book cooking the catch.
Now I just need to catch another blue this week! Ill have to try that. I have an awesome smoked bluefish dip recipe that i got out of ben sargents book cooking the catch. Papa telled me to eat bluefish that was sitting in sun for the day and didnt bleed it. I hated blue for years. Bleed them ASaP!
Thank for idea to cook. I catch bonita now so blues will have to wates. All of these options give me hope to try bluefish again.
And with them expecting to run through soon the timing is perfect. Where can I catch some blues, Ryan? Wednesday Aug The red wine vinegar is next to be tried. On a gas grill, bluefish is not so tough! In fact it is kind of delicate when done properly. Place filet in shallow baking pan Pour sake and light soy all over filet sprinkle the raw sugar on top. Bake 20 to 35 minutes in the oven at Put under the broiler for a minute or two to finish.
Pork chop shake and bake also works well on the bluefish. Got this trick from my dad years ago. I love the idea. Next time Ryan catches one we will try it. Sounds great. I eat bluefish all the time, usually grilled. I also bleed mine in a 30 gallon livewell on the boat and then it goes to the ice. I was quite surprised and pleased with the results — a seriously easy recipe and it was so good.
I hope you catch a few soon and enjoy the recipe! Went fishing this morning off the Jersey coast barnagett. Less than an hour, boat had 30 to 40 BIG blues. Appreciate all the tips. Cant wait to try these recipes!! However what I would recommend is trying this recipe on a small piece of bluefish fillet first. Sounds good … is there a way to do this on the grill?

Oh the magic of a marinade! At first I was less than thrilled! The best part about this dish? It only needs two ingredients. Watch carefully, as the fish can easily burn. Favorite Side Dishes.

I definitely want to try your bluefish recipe with the next bluefish I catch. In Maryland, peak spawning occurs offshore in July. Spawning occurs primarily offshore over the continental shelf when water temperatures warm to between 64 and 74 degrees F.
After hatching, larvae inhabit surface waters and are swept along the continental shelf by prevailing currents.
The number of offspring surviving to enter the population in a given year is influenced by the circulation patterns of currents on the continental shelf. If larvae move shoreward to suitable habitats, many survive; if they are moved further away from shore off the continental shelf, high mortality caused by starvation results.
After they spawn, bluefish move inshore with smaller fish generally entering Chesapeake and Delaware Bay and larger ones moving northward.
Juvenile bluefish grow quickly and by late fall, there are usually two size groups along the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts. Those fish that were spawned in the south during the spring are inches, whereas those spawned in the summer are inches.
Most juvenile bluefish spawned during the summer in the mid-Atlantic and in the spring in the South Atlantic remain in coastal waters, but some summer-spawned fish do enter the lower Bay for a couple of months before they return to the coast in the fall and join the adults in their move southward.
Fishing Methods: include trolling, chumming, casting, jiggling, and live and dead bait fishing from boats, shores or piers. Live baits are best, but plugs, lures or feathers are also used. The greatest success in angling for snappers occurs from August through September. Fishing for adult bluefish generally improves through the summer as more fish start moving into inshore areas, and extends through October, after which waters cool and the fish migrate offshore and southward.
Snappers are caught in estuaries and bays, and adults are caught along rocky or sandy shores and from boats. Many anglers prefer light spinning rods with less than 8 to 12 lb. When fishing for adults, the style of rod and line strength will vary depending upon whether one uses spinning or conventional gear to cast, troll or drift bait. Small swimming lures and drifted bait silversides and sand eels are frequently used for snappers or small adults.
Bluefish eagerly take a wide variety of fresh baits. Live or cut menhaden, mullet, mackerel, spearing, killifish, eels, squid, shrimp, ladyfish pieces, bunker or similar baitfish are all productive, especially when matched to whatever bluefish may be primarily feeding on at the time.
Bluefish eagerly take artificial baits as well. Either trolled or cast with a fast retrieve, shiny spoons and the full range of bright-colored plugs, jigs, plus fluorescent-colored tube lures are all effective. Bluefish occasionally leap out of the water before landing on and attacking a top water lure or live bait fished at the surface--a spectacular sight for most fishermen.
As with most fish, the quality of the flesh, and thus its flavor, will be best if the bluefish is gutted and iced as soon as possible after capture. The soft-textured bluefish flesh has high oil content. When concentrated, fish oils can create a strong flavor that is not favored by many people. Bluefish fillets can be marinated in acidic foods such as vinegar, lemon or lime juices, or wine, or they can be cooked with fresh vegetables such as tomatoes and onions.
