The Blues

[willy]

Working blues on top water plugs is one of my favorite things.
Blues, smaller ones, say under 28-30 inches are excellent
table fare.
Take them to a Mexican area, or better yet a Portuguese neighborhood and you can sell them immediately for a good price cause they know.
We do it all the time and make up some gas money.
You can bleed them, then stick them on ice.
Fillet them, lightly cut the dark stripe on the fillet and slide it off.
Lay the fillets down, slice a lime and sprinkle some drops on each fillet, spread the drops with you fingers, leave it on for two minutes, pat it dry with a paper towel and flip them over and do the same thing.
Now season them, bread or flour them how you like and bake or fry how you like.
My normal not big fish eatin kids will scarf down as many of these as I catch.
It is really very good.

I said it before, and I will say it again.

I love eating bluefish.

I don't care how it's cooked, it's all good.

I don't understand the "oh it's too fishy tasting".

It's a fish, it should taste like fish!

I suppose those of you that don't like bluefish also like flavored beer or put lemon\fruit in it too? ..because the beer has too much of a beer flavor?

Beer is supposed to taste like beer!

I love drinking beer that tastes like beer.

I love eating fish that tastes like fish.

I could go on...

Thanks for listening,

Sounds good but where do i find a Portugese neighborhood without going to Portugal ?

[willy]

Wow, are you really a Jersey Guy, Newark has the entire Iron Bound section which is all Portuguese.
There are Portuguese and Hispanic neighborhoods in every decent size town in this state.
Come on man, did you really ask that?
You are funning me right?
