fishlessman,[p]Man! Forget the tuna...I'd put that sauce on cardboard and love it!!!

fishlessman

DobieDad,
i think with a few modifications it would make a great steak sauce. maybe 1/4 cup soy and 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce and maybe no blueberries. still have lots of bluberries from last season to get rid of

fishlessman,
that looks great!
Now, can I cook salmon to only 120? I've been cooking it to 140 due to fear of getting sick, just wondering if you know.

egghead2004,
ive only cooked salmon til it starts to flake, never measured temp. that tuna (bluefin)looked like a sushi grade and probably could have served it raw. i like it a light pink inside, 110 to 115 would have been better, as it was overcooking in the plate, serve immediatly from the grill and dont let it rest

fishlessman,[p]it is easy to over cook tuna. Either way its STILL good!

fishlessman,
I've noticed a disturbing trend in your recent photos. Has the keg run dry???? There used to always be a pint of Guinness in the background.[p]Paul

Essex County,
many keg changes this year, but only once have i been without a backup keg. : ) will be adding a second tap for some smuttynose beers soon. have to check and see if they take the same setup as sam adams. you are right though, the pictures always look better with a pint
