“A baked bluefish recipe which surrounds the palate with bluefish flavor but not the fat or typically strong bluefish odor. This fish tastes delicious served over cooked rice, egg noodles or on a tossed salad.” - by Rick

1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup butter, melted

"I made this recipe for my parents and grandparents. It was fantastic. We all thought that 70 minutes to cook was too much, so we cooked it for 10 minutes at 500 degrees with the foil covering it and a..." See morebout 20 minutes at 400 without the foil. I didn't use onion. Instead, I sprinkled the filets with garlic. I also used 12 oz. of stuffing instead of 8. It is an excellent recipe that goes great with bluefish."
