Grilled Bluefish Wrapped 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.

How to cook Grilled Bluefish Wrapped with Bacon:
- Season the whole bluefish inside and out with salt and pepper.

- Wrap overlapping slices of bacon around center of fish (not head or tail).
- Prepare the barbecue grill. The charcoal should be glowing red, with white ash and no flames.
- Slide the whole bluefish onto cookie sheet, then transfer a heated barbecue grill.
- Cover and grill fish, without turning, until it is cooked through and bacon is golden, about 30 minutes.

The quality of the flesh, and thus its flavor, is the best if the bluefish is gutted and iced as soon as possible after capture. Remove the dark, oily strip that runs down its center before cooking to avoid a fishy taste.
