With a Bit of Love, the Blues Are Just Fine
By DANA BOWEN

"HANG around enough old salts, and sooner or later one of them will recount his favorite recipe for bluefish: Nail a few fillets to a plank of seasoned hardwood, stick them over a fire, and when their edges crisp and curl, throw away the fish and eat the plank."

Wow.

I became addicted to bluefish at Legal Seafoods, and while I was living in the area cooked it for myself several times too.

I never heard anybody say it was lousy fish.

According to Dana

It's often underappreciated and not iced down -- save the ice for the "good" fish -- and it turns quickly -- lottsa fat.

Thirty years ago or more, I heard duck hunters give that as the recipe for coot.
