FAQ
Though there are many ways to cook bluefish, I believe the best way is to grill the fillets. I brush the fillets with some Italian dressing before, and again during cooking.
Bake: Place in the 350°F oven (or you can put the foil packet on the grill) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or so, until the fish is cooked through and opaque. Serve: Carefully lift the fillet from the foil and place on a serving dish.
It's trimethylamine that causes the distinct fishy aroma. Milk counteracts this odor because milk contains casein, which bonds with the trimethylamine and effectively draws the stinky smell out of the fish.
It has a delicate flavor but can be more “fishy” than other types of seafood. Marinate or cook in acidic liquids to minimize fishiness. Bluefish is soft, and is best grilled, baked, broiled, or smoked.
Health Benefits. Bluefish are a good source of selenium, niacin, vitamin B12, magnesium, and potassium. As apex predators, bluefish can accumulate comparatively high levels of mercury and PCB contaminants. Limited consumption has been recommended in some states.
