The best preparation for bluefish your dad caught during the summer and left in the freezer.
Serves 1 happy family
1 bluefish 12-14 lbs
1 2-foot 2x4 preferably spruce
½ cup old bay seasoning
1 stick unsalted butter
A bunch of thyme and parsley
Kosher salt & pepper
3-foot sheet of Aluminum foil
2 16 penny steel nails
Soak the 2x4 in salted water over night.
Preheat oven to 425
Salt and pepper the cavity of the bluefish and stuff with the herbs.
Rub the butter all over the fish’s skin and dust with the old bay seasoning.
Carefully envelope the fish in the foil, sealing so that steam and liquid will be contained
Attach packet to 2x4 by driving one of the nails through the fish’s head and the other through the body just above the tail.
Pick up the packet now attached to the board and throw directly in the garbage.
