Baked Boston Bluefish


From an easy recipe card from the fish counter. Boston bluefish is considered an oily fish with a rich, strong flavor and less white meat. the fat is distributed throughout the flesh keeping it moist during cooking. Fyi-if you've never had bluefish before, it's strong taste doesn't work with any preparation the way a milder fish might. i used to have it broiled rather simply, with butter and lemon and a touch of paprika, which is fine but this will be a nice change of pace.
