Thanks for the warning Dave!  I called the NJ State Fisheries number
that you gave me over the phone.  They were quite helpful.  In a
nutshell, they said they have issued a warning for Blue Fish caught
off the coast of NJ.  Tests have found traces of PCB and Cordone in
the fish.  They suggest that children and pregnant women avoid fish
that weigh over 6 lbs, and that nobody eat more than one Blue Fish
meal in a week.  In all cases he said to clean out the fatty and dark
part of the fish, since that is where the contaminants collect.
[ Don't take this for fact, it is from my memory. ]

Fortunately, he said there was no problem with Connecticut Blue Fish,
and that we should eat and enjoy!

My neighbor just returned from Connecticut with about 20 lbs of
Blue Fish.  He is cooking it this sunday for a party.  Any 
recipes (quickly) would be greatly appreciated.
