Bluefish Fillets

Store raw fillets in the coldest part of the refrigerator and use within 1-2 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze.

Due to its oily nature, bluefish is excellent when smoked or grilled.

Marinating or serving with acidic components like lemon or vinegar can help balance the strong flavor.

For a milder taste, remove the dark lateral line before cooking.

Overcooking can make bluefish dry and mushy, so cook until just opaque and flaky.
