Just wondering, it it legal to fillet your catch if it's of the legal size right on the beach and discard the "junk" of it into the ocean? Like bluefish, better to filet them and get them on ice as soon as you can and same with all fish right? Or won't it matter as long as you throw them on ice straight away? I'd rather keep the kitchen clean..I'd be in NJ too, didn't find a site that told me if I could or couldn't.
