Cooked Fresh Yellowtail Steak (pics)

Mini, direct, 350F dome. My first direct fish cook. Salt and pepper and then on the grill. Twenty minutes each side. Coated it with a mixture of mayo and sweet hot pepper sauce the final five minutes. It was the best fish that I have ever eaten!

Well done surprised it was not more scorched without being raised.

That's no Yellowtail, maybe Yellowfin, sure hope it was medium rare and you had some wasabi nearby!

Yup Yellowtail. Pacific Yellowtail. A very common sport fish in our Pacific Coast area. Seems that there are over 100 fish with the name Yellowtail.  Check it out here:

20 min a side seems a bit much.  What temp did you cook to?

350F dome, they were 1 1/2" thick. They were perfectly done!

That looks like a huge cut. That is the nice part of being near the source. The setting on the plate is nice too.

Yup, Pacific Yellowtail.  Here they are when the Sportfisher's return to the San Diego harbor.
