What is a "bluefish"?

A bluefish is a predatory fish found in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It is characterized by its torpedo-shaped body, vibrant blue-green coloration, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Bluefish are known for their aggressive feeding behavior and are highly prized by anglers for their powerful fights and strong resistance when hooked. They are voracious predators, feeding on a wide variety of prey including smaller fish, squid, and crustaceans. Bluefish are migratory and can be found in schools along the coast, making them a popular target for both recreational and commercial fishing. In culinary circles, bluefish is valued for its rich, oily flesh and is often grilled, baked, or smoked to bring out its distinctive flavor.
