Baked Bluefish Fillets In Heavy Cream Sauce Tasty 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.

Notes:

iced as soon as possible after capture. Remove the dark, oily strip that runs down its
center before cooking to avoid a fishy taste.

How to clean Bluefish:
Scale the fish by placing it in the sink under cold running water. Grasp the fish firmly
by the gills and scrape off scales with a fish scaler or small, dull knife. Using short
strokes, work from the tail to the head.
How to fillet Bluefish:
Blues have small scales and soft flesh, making them easy to fillet. With the bluefish
lying on its side, insert the sharp knife behind the gills, and cut in an arc down to
just above the backbone. Continue cutting parallel to the backbone toward the tail.
Bring the knife up at the tail and remove the fillet. To skin the fillet, place it on a
board, skin side down. Run a thin, sharp knife along the fillet between the flesh and
the skin. Using fish pliers, pull out the pin bones.
