Before using this recipe, or any other for bluefish, you might want to try this tip given to me by a former neighbor many years ago.
Take your skinned bluefish fillets, and put them in a shallow baking pan. Just barely cover them in whole milk, and put in the refigerator. For smaller fillets(2 to 4 pound blues) let soak for an hour, larger fillets, 2 to 3 hours. Drain off the milk, and prepare any way you like. The milk removes all the oilyness and makes the fish much more palatable, don't ask me how, it just does.
Cooking the fiish in the simplest form, ie, dipping in egg, and coating in breadcrumbs, then frying in canola oil, you won't even believe it's bluefish.
One more tip, don't ever try this whole milk method with a delicate white meat fish such as fluke, you will think you are eating dry cotton(don't ask me how I know this).
