Blue Fish are plentiful on North Carolina’s Outer Banks and they are great fun to catch. The problem is that most people don’t enjoy the strong flavor of this fish. Here is a recipe that will convert those who have either sworn to never try the fish or if they have, never eat it again!
It is simple and you can easily find the ingredients in your own kitchen or at the grocery store. Please feel free to call us at The Pearl if you have any additional questions about how to prepare this unusual and wonderful dish.
