Totally agree here!!

I like blues cooked pretty much any style, but smoked is awesome.

Can make a great spread with smoked bluefish, cream cheese, and some chives or other seasonings

Same with Spanish makeral and Bonita bleed them get them in an ice slurry fast and they make great sushi.  I don't care for bluefish at all except fish cakes 

Have you tried bleeding carefully, cutting away all dark meat along blood lines, and frying the same day? It's not oily at all and tastes like a white fleshes fish when fried.

Bluefish is not high on the list for taste and texture. Same goes for Trout and Salmon. You have to choose the right recipe for it. My Mom used to make Boston Mackerel that was so delicious. Fried it and steamed it in Italian herbs and vinegar. Again, not the best fish in the world but you make the best of it. 

My favorite way to eat bluefish is fish cakes. You make a big batch, individually freeze them and you have a good sandwich anytime.

Certainly not as "fishy", raw.

Good idea. Any way you can put up your recipe?

You may have to enlarge to see. Remove all dark meat. I also like to add red or green pepper to it. Saute to soften first.
