They’re in thick down on the Cape and headed up this way. Meanwhile, they’re $7.99 a pound down at the supermarket.
BTW, if you say they’re "oily", that means you’ve never tasted one!
Call them what you like:
γοφάρι (gofari) or λουφάρι (loufari) in modern Greek
"lufer" in Turkish
or луфарь/lufar in Russian
because these guys live and feed worldwide.
If you had one bite you, you can call them snappers or choppers.
Or just call them what they are:
BLUEFISH!!!!!
Good Morning Gloucester 
Fun to catch on light tackle and a surface popper and fun to eat, smoked or fresh grilled. Stripers or OK but bluefish tail walk as you bring them in. Can’t wait, think I have to run down to Woods Hole.
