Answers:
I cannot give you a smoke recipe and bluefish, but what I can add to your Q&A is this:
As you said, bluefish is strong and oily!. Please, soak it in milk for about 3-6 hours, changing the milk every 3 hours!. You will be surprised how lovely it turns out!.
I've never smoked blues, but once I do the soaking thing, I season it with my favorite seasonings, s&p, onion and garlic powder some oregano and drizzle olive oil!.
I bake it until flaky and finish it with parsley/olive oil and lemon dressing!. It is so good!
I will star your question because I too am interested in smoking blue!.
Edit:
@ Asker: I found this link for you and there is a bit for smoking blue and soaking in milk prior!.
Most people will tell you here on the Long Island they’re not fond of eating Bluefish!. It seems it has a stigma amongst Islanders, there’s a reason!. If not prepared properly it tends to have a oily, tough, fishy, quality, which can overwhelm all senses!. As far as cooking recipes I’ve heard everything from marinating it in milk over night to Bluefish Ceviche!. Ceviche sounds like a great use for Bluefish its very firm and holds together well!. The lemon juice marinade subdues the difficult qualities of the fish!. Ceviche sounds good but later today we’re going to be smoking this mighty specimen!.

Use that oily stuff to your advantage!.
Put the fish (in fish holder things) over a medium fire to which you have added a layer of hickory, oak, etc!. chips!. Close up the grill!. The oil from the blues will make the flames jump!. 3 minutes one side, 3 minutes the other -and pull 'em off!. Done!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
