We were down in St George this past week and this group that were two houses down from us we're keep almost anything they caught.
Fishing really wasn't great but I'm not so sure these people new what they were doing at all. They were call juvy jack crevalle hard tails and some pogies I caught in a cast net they thought they were pompano.
They may have actually tried the pogies not sure but I founds 2 filleted bluefish so I know they at least tried them.

I have never heard of anyone eating bluefish. Anyone tried it?

Had some when I was younger. When bled out properly, and fried with a ton of seasoning, they'll do just fine.

No, but all the crabs I caught when using blues as bait liked 'em.

Eta: I would've paid to watch them eat pogeys.

They are not good fried or grilled the meat has a very pungent taste.

However I have had it smoked and made into a dip which was surprisingly good.

Really? Never? It's not uncommon. They're decent fried.

They used to run trucks full of them from GI to the North-East.

Yes, damn good but you have to like fish. Of coarse don't over cook but this is one fish that is good baked in oven.

I've cooked it and eaten it fried and baked. Went fishing in the outerbanks on a charter and we caught a mess of them. Cleaned the blood lines and the meat was fine. Cooked them same day. I caught some small ones in gulf shores this summer and kept them. Cooked on the skillet just fine but was not near as good as the flounder I caught.

used to catch blues off the beach at Fort Morgan all the time. great fight on light tackle. Would fillet immediately, cut off red area, and fry up. Not bad at all.

i always throw them back in LA because we typically catch specks on the same trip. Once my old man had a brainfart moment and tired to lip one. perfect cut to thumb.
