Baked Bluefish Fillets with Bacon Easy Recipe.
Bluefish should be eaten very fresh. Look for flesh with a deep, rich color with a firm texture. Bluefish soft-textured, moist flesh is dark and has a high oil content, making it quick to spoil. When concentrated, fish oils can create a strong fishy flavor. Bring the kosher salt, water, and herbs to a boil, simmer five minutes, then let cool. Pour brining mixture over the fish in a glass or stainless steel container, and refrigerate for one hour. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel before cooking. This will improve the texture of bluefish and will lighten the flavor as well as retain the oils that confer the full health benefits associated with eating fish.
