Niki – Thank you! I love bluefish any way, and it’s particularly tasty when smoked. So versatile, too – it’s great on bagels or flaked and added to deviled eggs or turned into a creamy dip or spread.

Lydia – The offerings at the market just keep getting better and better! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful resource.

CGDC – Oh, yum, that sounds fabulous! Stay safe and warm and enjoy – cheers!

Jennifer, you’ve inspired me to finally buy some bluefish to cook at home. Plan to serve it with a side of roasted winter veggies, pour a glass of wine, and wait for the big snow to hit DC!

I adore smoked bluefish — and it’s great to know (thanks, Eric) that we can now find it at the Wintertime market.

I have never heard of smoked bluefish, but it looks amazing and now I am going to have to go on a hunt. That salad is so inventive and visually beautiful!

Peter – Aw, I wish I would have known – would have been nice to clink glasses with you. And yes, I’m not sure when you were at school here, but we hear it has changed dramatically. There are great things happening here food-wise, and more yet to come. And it reached a balmy 40-something degrees here on Tuesday, so the salad was a nice change of pace from the richer fare we’ve been eating most nights. Plus, we love some smoked bluefish.

I was just in RI last weekend. Some good food in Providence, which has changed a great deal since I was at college there.

My Mom was a huge fan of the salad-as-entrée, and I’m coming around to it as well- though, like you, it seems better suited to warmer weather. And lunch rather more than dinner. But I loves me some smoked bluefish.

Next time, you gotta aim for, “Shoots, Smokes, and Leaves”!

Hi! Just wanted to say all of us at Farm Fresh RI really love your blog, and appreciate all the props you give the Pawtucket Winter Market.

Coincidentally, at the winter market, we just brought on a smoked fish vendor, Dave’s Ribs (www.davesribs.com), out of Cape Cod. They smoke their own bluefish and cod caught right off the cape. Be sure to check it out!
