Smoked Tuna

FlaPoolman

Smoked these small Tuna steaks yesterday. Tried to keep temp about 175 dome for 2 hours.Wanted strong smoke so used hickory. Usually use cheap fish for this but came out great. These are better served cold with a good beer or 5. Took one and mixed with mayo, old bay & capers for a great smoked fish dip. Eating the other 2 now with the afternoon libations. :blink: :silly: :blink:
HEY IT'S 5:00 SOMEWHERE :evil:

Looks great I am going to try to smoke some salmon soon. I may need some help, if so I guess I could ask you huh :laugh:

FlaPoolman

Any time. I love the dip probably more than the steaks but both are better served cold.
OT,, Son is Navy & stationed in San Diego now.
Just ask here or shoot me an Email.

Good looking steaks. How successful were you at maintaining 170? Any outside (Guru, Stoker) help?

Susan Egglaine

Did you soak them in anything? I had some GREAT tuna jerky before, never have been able to get that one right. Anyone have a recipe?

FlaPoolman

Didn't soak them but did coat with blackened fish seasoning before smoking.

No guru yet. Thats the next toy. Temp got up to 200 a couple of times but a good reason not to cut the grass. Honey I have to watch the grill . It worked :laugh: .

Hey Doug. Been a long time since I've been out but have plans for next saturday to head to the Gulf Stream. We were gonna do an overnighter to the weather bouy about 110 miles off canaveral but the boat owner decided to just do an all dayer. Weather holds up we will head to the Gulf Stream but not cross it. Looking forward to it but might have to cut the grass for the better half's permission. . Just kidding, I think she's happy to get rid of me for a day or two.
