Help! Smoking bluefish.

[Rob W]

Hello everybody. It's been a while since I've been on the forum. The Weber sat for a couple of years so I decided to break it out tonight and smoke some bluefish that I caught on Sunday. I'm smoking between 225 and 250°. But I can't remember how long I should smoke it for. Is there anyone here that has ever smoked bluefish? It's been a while since I've done it and just can't remember how long.

Too tell you the truth, blue's liked to be cooked hot and fast! Sprinkle fish with kosher salt, cracked pepper, just a pinch of garlic powder and finish it with a good sprinkle of paprika. Heat a cast iron skillet up to high heat. Put a heavy tbsp of butter and slam your fish in before the butter starts to burn/evaporate. 1 min per inch of thickness no more then three min thou. Flip with the same rule. Should have some really nice blacken blue's
