Bluefish

Bluefish are a migratory fish that live in the Atlantic Ocean from Nova Scotia to Florida. Bluefish get their name from the bright bluish tint found on the sides of their body. Bluefish migrate north as the ocean water temperature increases and are abundant off New York shores from May through November. High quality locally harvested bluefish are widely available in New York markets during the summer and fall, and bluefish harvested in the southern Atlantic states is available in New York markets during the colder months of the year.
