Fish

Steak

Bluefish steak is a thick cross-cut or loin portion for grilling—grey-blue skin, oily assertive flesh. It behaves like a meaty fish steak: hot surface, short time, rest briefly. Season simply; finish with acid or herb oil. Must be ultra-fresh; oxidises fast—same-day cook. Doneness is judged by flake and translucency, not beef habits alone.
