I definitely steer to a preference for Real Food.

Even there, once I came up with a bad deal once it thawed, but if you live in the middle of the country, this may be the route to go.Įqual parts of water and dry white wine, to cover fish when laid out at bottom of panĦ or so slices from one green cabbage, then coarsely choppedġ-2 ramps (or garlic clove, chopped, if ramps aren’t available). I’m leary of their fresh-packed fish section (without having tried, I admit) I’d stick with their frozen. Outlets such as Trader Joe’s don’t have fishmongers - most of their fish is sold frozen. I always pick out the fillets or fish I want (unless it is something small like smelts or sardines). If they are sunken, dried out, stay away. If you are purchasing a whole fish, look at the eyes. If it smells fishy, stay away (if you are on that close enough terms in this area - Northeast USA - he’s going to steer you away anyway). Not bury your nose in it, which might in itself contaminate it, but let you sniff from a reasonable distance. If you are intimate enough with your fishmonger, he may allow you to sniff it. If it has any rainbow coloration whatsoever, STAY AWAY. (In this regard, the salmon fisheries have done a world of PR for their fish! So maybe we should just shussssh and not get the bluefish word out, because we certainly don’t want bluefish, redfish, or any other fish to go the way of the poor “Atlantic” salmon, which now comes so frequently from the Pacific’s Chilean farmed waters.)
It’s sustainable, if only because most people don’t like, or more accurately, think they won’t like, bluefish, and they are worried about the oils. Once that happens, omega-3s scurry out the window. bluefish is a high omega-3 oil fish, especially since I don’t think bluefish-farming is an industry yet. I was surfing around that same site (RecipeZaar/) for new concepts in bluefish-cooking, and while the above certainly fills the bill regarding NEW, I’m choosing to modify a recipe card from the supermarket.Īnyhow. But if you do have a spectacular large whole specimen, I’ll direct you to this recipe, which yes, is apparently made by putting the fish wrapped in foil in the top rack of your dishwasher (sans soap, although one reviewer says if the thing is sufficiently wrapped, you can run a load for conservation and multitasking purposes).
#Poached bluefish plus
Plus they’re younger, less time to accumulate mercury. In my experience, the smaller fillets seem to be tastier, less “blue-fishy”, and usually seem to look fresher, at least at my fishmonger’s abode.
