#BLUEFISH GRILL FULL#
It has a reputation for being overly fishy, but, if treated properly, via bleeding and icing, it retains a fresh, full flavor. What Does Bluefish Taste Like?īluefish, like salmon, is a full-flavored, oily fish, high in omega-3s.
Atlantic salmon is always farmed, it’s NOT local and it’s not seasonal. It’s essentially fish factory farming, a commodity of the global seafood trade. Atlantic salmon is pretty much the opposite. Bluefish is the epitome of a fish that’s part of a diverse, interconnected, local, seasonal, and therefore, healthy seafood system. But, to put it quite simply, bluefish is a much more sustainable choice. Why Bluefish is a Better Choice Than Atlantic Salmonįirst of all, if you like the taste of salmon, you should also like the taste of bluefish because they have very similar qualities.
There’s no better example than bluefish! In fact, it’s a great alternative to Atlantic salmon. We have healthy and abundant seafood right on our shores, much of it undervalued and underappreciated. The global seafood trade hurts our local fishing economies, contributes to overfishing, and incurs a heavy carbon footprint. As consumers, we are eating way too much seafood from overseas and we need to shift the balance back to our national fisheries, which, contrary to popular belief, are highly regulated and wonderfully sustainable. I’m proud to have been chosen to be part of this program! My role is to showcase the many fantastic local Massachusetts seafood species in easy-to-cook recipes. It’s also in conjunction with Eating with the Ecosystem, a New England-based non-profit working to expand awareness of and access to local New England seafood. Funding is provided by the proud commercial fishermen of Massachusetts from permit fees at no additional cost to the fishermen via DMF’s Seafood Marketing Grant program. This post is also part of a 6-month collaborative program called the Massachusetts Seafood AmBASSadors and is sponsored by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) and the Woods Hole Sea Grant Education Research Center.
In fact, I’ve purposefully made them as simple as possible to encourage more people to try bluefish.
#BLUEFISH GRILL HOW TO#
In this post, I’m going to share five different recipes for how to cook bluefish - baked bluefish, broiled bluefish, grilled bluefish, pan-fried bluefish, and a sublime summer bluefish chowder. But alas, they are highly misunderstood and underappreciated for their culinary potential. They are a favorite of recreational fishermen for their voracious fight. Literally! Bluefish are only in season briefly, migrating to our northeastern shores during the summer months.
