The only fish we really keep are Stripers, Flounder, Fluke, Weakfish, Kingfish(rare find these days), Blackfish, and my favorite, Blowfish...
I will also keep any skate, they have really tasty "wings"...
Porgies (tasty, but way too many pin bones, only keep a really big one that can be filleted), blues, sand sharks, etc. all get thrown back...

We really love weakfish too... and they have been very plentiful in the Peconic Bays in the last 10 years or so...

A good day of weakfishing:

See if your smoker will do some bluefish filets. They make excellent pate/fish spread. I know a guy who smoked various fish and sold his products in the nyc green markets and the bluefish spread was outstanding, don't know his receipe but its a cream cheese base. If you have a couple of grand to spare you can by a commercial electric smoker, set it and forget it, it self fed the wood pellets and had a temp probe to make perfect products. He had 2 and made some great stuff but he wouldnt give up the brine formula either. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />
