How To Make Bluefish Taste Amazing

[@gurufpv8444]

should not be keeping blue fish there population is low D: NOAA says significantly below population. I have also heard (from a much less reliable source) that at the current rate blue fish will go extinct in 3 years.

[@CookingWithClams]

Well this is why we follow rules, And abide by the limits set by the fishery. At one point you were not allowed to keep ANY weakfish and they made a huge comeback and now you are allowed to keep one. It is important to follow rules and regulations to keep populations healthy. I trust the experts and trust the limits they put in place.

[@CookingWithClams]

Also why it is very important to use your entire catch. Respect the catch

[@gurufpv8444]

@@CookingWithClams good points but still not worth keeping a fish that is not doing well when there are tasty fish with good population. When you show your self keeping a species that's not doing well to over a thousand people that is not good for the population because they will now go out and eat blue fish as well. Not mad but please be more careful about what you keep and who you show it to :D

[@CookingWithClams]

@@gurufpv8444 I’m happy you said this. In my mind one fish was kept that day between the three of us which could have legally been 9, so I felt ok with it BUT I understand and appreciate your point. I try to get across being a conscientious fisherman but that can get lost sometimes. Thank you for leaving a thoughtful comment and not just attacking me. I appreciate it and will absolutely consider it with future videos

[@brianwoodard82]

Why print such bogus information? It degrades the rest of your arguments. Bluefish will not be extinct in 3 years. Dumb comment.

[@gregjohnson4658]

I love my mom more than the air I breathe, and seeing you with your amazing mother makes the video that much better. I was ready for you to head back south but now I realize I will miss seeing videos with mom in them. My first fish I ever caught was at jetty park in cocoa beach FL and it was a blue fish I was 10 and camping with my little league BB team I thought I had a shark the way it faught..lol thanks for another great video and please be safe on your drive back...

[@meatmaster1560]

Would have loved to have seen the one that got away…. I often braise pork or beef chunks in a spicy fresh salsa. I’ve never tried it with fish but I’m certainly going to now! The bluefish looked delicious. Love seeing you with your mother as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@CookingWithClams]

I know it’s the age ol tale that the one that got away was bigger but the way this thing took drag, it was crazy . That fish and scenario will haunt me

Now thats a nice fish. And by the way I can't remember anything from the past week but I remember all my big fish misses. They keep replaying every once in a while. And the coleman is a steal. I collect those and the lanterns and there is plenty of parts and info on them. Good luck on the next adventure and thanks for the video.

[@CookingWithClams]

@@konstantinivanov1986 it was an hour of unbelievable fishing

[@hkonyt797]

That looks delicious. My mouth is watering. It's been a long time since I've had bluefish. I think tomato is key for those who find large bluefish too strong a flavor for their palate. Maybe its the acidity? It seems to reduce that objectionable aspect of the bloodline. My aunt used to bake the giant bluefish fillets with a thick topping (more than 1/4" high topping) made from diced onion and diced fresh tomato sautéed in a lot of butter (2 sticks, I think) followed by addition of seasoned breadcrumbs (likely supplemented with more seasoning). It was delicious.

[@CookingWithClams]

That sounds amazing! And yes the acidity cuts through the “oily” taste

[@zmonsterk]

Nice bluefish/tailor/chopper and nice recipe. Love this fish smoked. I think what you called arugula we call rocket? Anyway very nice and your mum’s awesome 👍🏼

[@CookingWithClams]

@@adamyoung480 could be what we call wild arugula, now I’m not sure

Aloha. Quite the difference a month makes in bluefish size. Haven’t had one since I left Florida. The steaks are definitely old school, but great for grilling. Love Coleman, always have a dual fuel stove and lantern. Two products/same fuel and I never run out in the middle of something like cooking or night diving from the beach. Another great video.

Thank you Adam! Coleman really is a great company. And yes to the old school steaks! My uncle used to do it with our catch as kids.
