Bluefish are abundant in Bay and Ocean later in the season. Since they are plenty and you want to try a fresh Bluefish, just ask one of the fishermen (persons) for a fish, sometimes they are happy to share the bounty, especially later in the season when their freezers are already stuffed. If you don't have a boat you can also try to catch them off the Beach. Maybe you'll even observe a "Bluefish Run". Keep your ears open. Word of a "Run" travels fast.
