P.
I saw a guy reach into a Blue's mouth for the hook one time and it pealed his thumb like a banana, that's why I use a 9 inch steel leader before my hook.
When the blues are feeding on a school of pogies (manhadin) the big strippers will sit on the bottom under the school of feeding blues and catch the pieces that drop down to the bottom.
Many times while snagging pogies for bait I've pulled in half a pogie.

The size of those little ones or preferably smaller are fine to eat. But my suggested recipe isnt smoking em. Foil boat on the grill with a drizzle of olive oil and water, let the fillet cook half through and then pour a few shots of whiskey on em and a very thin layer of buffalo sauce. Used to toss em all back now I'll keep any under 4-5lbs. Obviously bleed immediately and cut out bloodlines before cooking.

Have always eaten Blues. Smaller are better, as with any highly predatory fish, less likely to be accumulated environmental toxins. This is why many states have no minimum size requirements and encourage anglers to keep and eat smaller Blues. Bleed them first by snipping area below gills. Baked fillets with butter, lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning is great!

We call Blue fish Tailor.
We love eating them, gut and cook whole, stuff with butter, salt pepper, tomato and onion. Squeeze lemon on to taste once cooked.
Typically we get them 300mm (12 inches) but sometimes upto 500mm (19. 5 inches) in our Estuary systems. They get to 1. 2m (4 feet) out in the ocean.

Thought? this first blue got tail bit by another blue, blues are known for chopping off tails of grubs. Watch an Australian youtuber and in Australia they call blues tailers? fitting. They are good cooked fresh (think same day, or smoked. Bleed them too. Cheers man, love the vids as always.

If you get them on ice fast it helps a lot. I like to smoke blue fish or make fish cakes with them. If you sprinkle the fillets with lemon juice and wait for the flesh turn whitish they taste less fishy.

Blue Fish are very good to eat but you must eat them fresh. I like frying them up. This is not a fish you can try to freeze and eat later, mostly if i catch one i want to eat it that day.

Top water bluefish and striper action is much more fun. You need to get up here to the northeast for the fall run to get in on some real action!
