SAILOR STYLE BLUEFISH WITH ONIONS AND TOMATOES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F or Heat Barbecue to Inderect Medium Heat. Rinse the Bluefish under fresh running water, pat dry with a paper towel. Salt and Pepper the inside and outside of the fish lightly. Stuff the bunch of basil inside the cavity, set aside. Tear a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil large enough for the fish to sit on top of it with about 4-6 inches overhang on each side.(you will be covering the first sheet with another, to make a sealed package). Place the sheet of foil on a large baking pan to prevent drips, and to allow for ease of transport. Using Half the Tomatoes place a layer of Tomatoes in the middle of the foil, cover with half the sliced onions. This is a base for the fish. Place the fish on the layer of tomatoes and onions. Cover with the remaining tomatoes and onions. Place another sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil on top, and fold and crimp the two layers edges together to seal. Be especially careful sealing the edges, as you do not want a leak. Place baking pan in oven carefully, bake for approx 10-15 minutes, until fish is cooked just about through (you must all ow for carryover cooking on larger fish, smaller fish may be cooked through in the oven) Open the foil on the fish, and, carefully peel off the top skin (it should remove easily) then, remove the top pieces with a fork. They will seperate easily from the backbone. Once all the top pieces are removed, pull up the head and backbone (they come off together) and remove the bottom slices from the skin.
BAKED FISH WITH ONIONS
A rich and creamy onion sauce transforms simple cod into an impressive company dish. If you don't want to use any dairy products, omit making the cream sauce and just smother the cod with the slow cooked onions, the bread crumbs and drizzle with fragrant olive oil before baking.

BLUEFISH FLAMBE WITH GIN
Found this sleeper in The Old Farmer's Almanac. Plan to make good use of it to when our more discerning visitors come acalling (& cringe when they hear bluefish from across the road is what's for supper). Thinking of serving with a fresh tomato bread salad & steamed Roma pole beans from the garden. " When bluefish is available, the kitchen at The Governor's Inn virtually hums with new ideas for presenting this lovely fish. Gin gives it a splendid flavor." --The Governor's Inn, Ludlow, Vermont Prep time includes fileting the blue fish.

FAST VIETNAMESE CARAMEL BLUEFISH
The first bluefish catch marks the beginning of summer in the Northeast, where the rich-tasting fish are plentiful, inexpensive and sustainable. Bluefish are best enjoyed very fresh, so make sure to get yours from a reliable source. Eaten within a day or two of catching, the flesh is sweet and flaky, with a deep ocean flavor. In this recipe, fillets are simmered in a brown sugar, ginger and soy sauce mixture that mimics the peppery flavors of a classic Vietnamese caramel fish, but without having to make caramel. The result is complex, tangy, slightly sweet and comes together in under 30 minutes. And if you can't get bluefish, other full-flavored fillets can be substituted. And if you can't find lemongrass, use strips of lemon or lime zest instead.

Steps:
- Brush fish all over with oil. Remove outer layer of lemongrass stalk and cut stalk into 2-inch lengths. Using the butt of a kitchen knife, pound and bruise stalks all over.
- Place lemongrass pieces, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, ginger and black pepper in a large skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and reduce sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, until syrupy.
- Place fish, skin side-down, in pan. Simmer, basting fish frequently with pan sauce, for 2 minutes; carefully turn fish and continue cooking until fish is just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Transfer fish to a serving plate and garnish with scallion, jalapeño and cilantro. Drizzle with additional sauce. Serve over rice, if desired.
GREEK BAKED FISH WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS
The robust flavors in the tomato sauce work well with a variety of white fishes. If you have traveled in the Greek Islands, chances are you have had this fish. Use a white-fleshed fish that will stand up to the robust flavors in the tomato sauce. From the Monterey Bay Aquarium's list of best choices I recommend Pacific cod or halibut, black cod or striped bass. From the "Good Alternatives" list I recommend Mahi Mahi from United States waters.

Steps:
- Pat the fish dry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Oil one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish and pour on the lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until they have softened and begun to color slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, paprika, cinnamon, dissolved tomato paste, wine, half the parsley and more salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce has cooked down a bit and is very fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the fish. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley.
- Place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Baste the fish every 10 minutes if it is not submerged in the sauce. Serve hot or warm, with rice, bulgur, or potatoes.

CREAMY BARBECUED BLUEFISH
This recipe comes from a longtime fisherman from the East End of Long Island, the husband of artist Annie Sessler (who makes fish prints). He prepares bass and bluefish with recipes from his days cooking for crewmates on long dragger trips. For these bluefish fillets, you may wonder if all the toppings overwhelm the flavor of this dish. Though hardly Le Bernardin (or the American Heart Association, for that matter), fear not, as the mayo and melted cream cheese offset the oiliness of the fish.
