I believe it!.....If a bluefish has been in the freezer for awhile, the BONES probably are better tasting than the flesh.
Back in the 1950's when we got our first stand-alone freezer, we (my Dad and I) froze a large quantity of bluefish. The stuff that came out of the freezer a few months later was terrible tasting and had a lousy texture. So as you said initially, a large part of the catch went into the garden that Spring. We saved some of it for crab bait, and some to be ground up as chum for fall snapper fishing in the Navesink River. Over the years, I have tried freezing blues again several times with the same results. I love fresh blues if they are eaten the day they a caught, but not frozen. Release those that can't be consumed within a day or so.
