Bluefish indeed. I'd look at it like a mackerel. I'll keep a mackerel once in a blue moon but not often and you have to cook it a certain way.

People like them on the east coast so it'd be worth trying out. I'd cut out blood line, soak in some type of marinade, and grill.

Awesome shark bait. Cut bait or live offshore.

Garbage fish. Never sees the inside of the ice chest when I fish. I have always felt sorry for the Yankees that they feel compelled to keep these and eat them.

I’ve tried king and Spanish, the best place for them is a crab trap.

It's not the best fish on the planet, but if you bleed it out, trim the meat well and cook fresh, it'll taste great.

Same with mackerel by the way. Most of the time people don't take care of their catch appropriately and then don't like the result.

Aji

Japanese horse mackerel.

Really good at the sushi place, but it’s really not a mackerel.

Cut the throat and put it upside down in bucket of saltwater


Let it bleed out and fry it tonight.

It’s actually good.

Can’t hold a candle to specks but if filleted and blood line removed and fried and eaten the same day as caught blues are okay. Once frozen they are inedible. The fresher the better. Even sitting in an ice chest all day or putting the fillets in the fridge overnight hurts the flavor.

Did this in Florida. Was really surprised how good it was.

Have always thought of them as trash fish but we cut a king mackerel into steaks and grilled it and it was fantastic

When I catch a Spanish mackerel I, slit it's throat and put it in an ice bath. When I get home that night it becomes ceviche. To me it's one of the best fish to make ceviche with. Never had it cooked. I'll keep 2 or 3 spanish macs and throw the rest back.

When I first got to Va beach I caught about 20 off a dock at base, just kept throwing them back. All of a sudden some yard bird shows up with a big cooler and say throw those blues in here instead of back.

I filled cooler up. Later I learned blues from cooler waters are pretty good with no real special handling

Boil king meat in crab boil then make a cream cheese based dip with corn/black beans et. So good.

We used to catch tons of them off the outer banks when I lived in NC. They'd run down from New England in the fall when the weather got cold.

I never had any problem with the taste...

Bigger ones will bite your finger off. They get big in the northeast and they actually have tournaments for them. 15.39 pounds won 25k in 2022 tournament in Long Island, NY. I’ve caught a bunch in gulf but none more then a few pounds.
