Bluefish Catch and Cook, Is It A Trash Fish? | NJ Saltwater Fishing

  • This weekend I caught a lot of fish. However, these fish are what most anglers consider "trash fish" or fish that are undesirable as table fare. The term is merely a matter of opinion because different people have different tastes and many people do in fact enjoy eating these species. In this video, I catch some bluefish, skate, and dogfish. At the end of the video, I fry up the bluefish and determine if this fish is trash or a smash.

    Thanks for watching! Do you eat bluefish? Let me know your favorite ways to cook it.

      I’m frying some right now. The best way I think is you make a marinara sauce and slide the fillets in. Cook a few minutes and put it over linguine.

    The first fish was the perfect size for the smoker. Just brine overnight smoke from about 90 minutes and it makes amazing fish dip with a little lemon, cream cheese and mayo.

    Glad someone was on fish. All i got were horseshoe crabs which I didnt even know they would eat a baited hook lol. Cape may, well where i was, was not the move. I feel like a lot of "trash fish" arent trash, they just require a level of prep, cooking and recipes. I had a friend who tried Bonita right after he caught it and he said it was dang good.

      When I fish Cape May this time of year, there’s always tons of horseshoe crabs, right now I believe they’re in peak spawn. I’ve also heard similar about Bonita! You’re right it’s all in the prep and recipes. Thanks for watching!

    Nice job. I am so envious of your location, the stripers haven't made it this far north yet and we never get blue fish. Our winter flounder season has been killer this year though.

    Somehow, I've never heard anyone refer to bluefish as 'trashfish' until now. Not everybody likes eating them, but they're a respected game species. They're probably my personal favorite saltwater fish to catch! I especially love hitting cocktail blues on the ultralight.

    • @SaltySamFishing

    I saute smaller ones. Some I cut up for fish tacos. The real big ones can be smoked and they turn out well. My father used to broil them with liberal amounts of worcestershire sauce applied before broiling.

  • @dangareau
    @dangareau 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Dogfish do make great British style fish and chips. I'm from Wildwood but lived in London and my wife was born and raised in the middle of England and her parents owned a takeaway. She confirmed it. The way we do it is to cut them into steaks (basically 2" cross sections), batter and fry. I eat 'em but don't cook them. The "bones" are cartilage and melt away so don't bother deboning. Try 'em. I can't tell them from Cod or Pollock. b
    PS: I hear they call them "Rock Salmon" instead of dogfish

    If you don't like BLUEFISH, that means you don't know how to cook it. Overcooked it is like tuna fish, cooked to a turn it is soft and delicious. I just salt and eat. Wrap in foil, medium heat on flat surface, turn a lot to a little underdone, let sit and cook some more off the heat, check next to spine bone, should just barely come off with fork. A little salt and eat.

    Is it the breading mix that you’re getting the flavor from?Evrythings good deep fried😂Gave a blue fish filet to someone and they baked it plain and they said it had no flavor?Like you say in video it had no fishy flavor.Try baking it with minimal spices or nothing and review it.Not a trash fish.Tons of people eat it in Jersey or use it for shark bait.

      The breading mix was good but, could still taste the fishes flavor. I really love fried bluefish and wanted to eat it that way but could have included a portion of the video trying it plain. Sorry for the disappointment on that but will keep in mind for the future!
