When life gives you bluefish
Fish second courses
We had lived in this condo complex for only 2 months, so when one of our neighbors stopped me and said he was going fishing for blues and did I want some if he caught any, how could I say no? I knew my husband liked bluefish; I could only remember having eaten it once, and I wasn’t a huge fan. <br /> <br />But I can cook, right? (Well, most days….) <br /> <br />I posted the question of what to do on Foodpickle (http://www.food52.com/foodpickle/7606-how-to-prepare-and-cook-bluefish) and got some great ideas, but none were really right for us. As greenstuff suggested, I googled bluefish-gin, and got a bunch of references, one of which was from one of the Silver Palate cookbooks. So I got out my Silver Palate cookbooks, and found a recipe for Piquante Bluefish, which sounded like a great idea. I also liked the idea of using gin in a marinade, so I did that, too. The sauce I made is more like my red pepper and onion confit than their salsa piquante, so it’s a very loose adaptation. <br /> <br />And you can tell that I’m not really a food blogger, because I forgot to take a picture! But it was a great end-of summer meal. <br />
