The small ones is pretty much all we get down here. I've never seen what most would call an average size bluefish in the Atlantic, down here on the Gulf side. The ones we get are only 2-4 lbs normally(under 20 inches is the norm). The biggest one I've caught down here was on the flats, and he was only 23 inches. The ones I caught trolling up in the Atlantic were all double the weight and bigger. I'm not saying they're great, but if you clean them fresh, trim the dark vein out, brine them in saltwater, then a milk brine, then they come out good enough to fry up.
