" 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," says New York Times writer Melissa Clark.

C & C Lobsters and Fish offers a variety of fresh seafood.  They      suggest that you pre-order in order to ensure availability.  If you  can't make it to the market, they are able to arrange home delivery.  Email:  t opnotchhull@comcast.net.
