BLUEFISH FLAMBE WITH GIN



Bluefish Flambe With Gin image

Found this sleeper in The Old Farmer's Almanac. Plan to make good use of it to when our more discerning visitors come acalling (& cringe when they hear bluefish from across the road is what's for supper). Thinking of serving with a fresh tomato bread salad & steamed Roma pole beans from the garden. " When bluefish is available, the kitchen at The Governor's Inn virtually hums with new ideas for presenting this lovely fish. Gin gives it a splendid flavor." --The Governor's Inn, Ludlow, Vermont Prep time includes fileting the blue fish.
