Blues are good eating if you like oily, blues are like mackerel, much
better smoked. I would never cook blues indoors, everything would
stink of strong smelling fish for a month. I used to catch lots of
blues surf casting in LI Sound, but there were people who would smoke
the catch and keep half as payment... was a good deal, what would I do
with 100 pounds of blues... I'd still give most of my share to
neighbors.
