FAQ

Should you soak bluefish in milk?

Preparing the Fillets Rinse and pat dry the fish, then place it in a glass baking dish and cover it with low-fat milk to completely submerge it. This will help to mask the fish’s strong flavor and odor.

How do you make bluefish less fishy?

What is the best way to cook fish on a grill?

Bluefish is soft and is best grilled, baked, broiled, or smoked. 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 best eaten as fresh as possible because it tends to degrade over time and doesn’t keep or freeze well.
