About Bluefish

Bluefish is a marine fish with firm, oily flesh and a pronounced, savoury flavour. Its flesh is typically pale when raw and can darken after cooking; whole fish, fillets and steaks are common market forms.

It is cooked by methods such as grilling, baking or smoking, and is also sold preserved. Freshness and handling affect flavour, while cooking, smoking, salting and added oil change the composition. The common name identifies a particular food fish, not a general category of blue-coloured fish.
