TL - I caught a weakie in Jersey about a month ago, the first one I have seen in many years....
I grilled it up and thought it was great, but then, I like bluefish....and I thought it tasted a lot like a good blue....almost couldn't tell the difference....
Here's what I did:
2 tablespoons dijon type mustard
2 tablespoons mayo
Few cloves (or more, in my case) crushed garlic
A bit of dried tarragon or oregeno and thyme
Fresh ground pepper
A splash of worcershire sauce
A splash of white wine
Olive oil as needed
A bit of paprika
Mix all together. Leave the skin on the fillet. Make three or four cuts thru the skin and about an 1/8" into the meat. Put it in a pyrex baking dish. Cover the skin side with the marinade, pushing it into the cuts. Flip the fillet over, and pierce the meat all over with a fork. Put on the rest of the marinade, and let sit in the fridge anywhere from 1 to 4 hours.
Get your grill hot. I use a fish basket, so set that on the grill and get it hot as well. Brush the basket (or the grill) with olive oil. Take the fillets and drain the excess marinade (reserve). Put the fillets on the grill, turn and baste with the reserved marinade every few minutes, for a total cooking time of maybe 15 minutes (3 or 4 turns).
Yummy.......I do blue fish, and striper, this way as well.....
