Tuna Talk

alternity · January 2000

Id just like to hear some more about Tuna because I saw a theread a whaile ago that was good and I enjoy it so much especially catching huge ones in Mexico once.
I have too ruined it from overcooking and smoking. I now found that there is only one way -fresh and seared.
I do a few things ..first get sushi grade which can run at 14$ a pound :(..after catching hundreds of pounds of and bringing lots back for free from my vacation once..Oh well.
I wash it in cold water pat dry~
apply light olice oil coat~
then I sprinkle a little White Whine Worschester sauce and light Soy~
coat with fresh garlic and Ginger liberally on both sides~
drench both sides in Coarse fresh ground black pepper~
very light sprinkle of sea salt~
_let set for a hour or three_
Fry that baby over lump coal and some cherry wood & pinch of hickory
for no more than 5 min a side depending on thickness[p]kick off excess char crust and slice thin then splay[p]put over bed of organic fresh local grown salad greens[p]toss a light oil vinegar or favorite salad dressing ( I love Annies Salad dressing's found in healthfood stores so much that I have almost stoped makeing my own similar homade recipies from scratch)[p]Best way I have found to eat the fish[p] enjoy [p] "I've gone and been a greedy boy, gone and eaten what I love-YOU!"[p][p][p][p][p]

1) If desiring to smoke tuna you will need a large loin and smoke as low as you can go.

2) If you're paying $14/lb for sushi grade tuna you aren't getting sushi grade tuna.

3) If you have a piece of tuna in the 1" thick category soak it in olive oil for a few hours prior to cooking (wipe dry first). I found this on Cooks Illustrated years ago and it works well. Prevents it from drying out.

4) For grilling have your fire as hot as possible and just a sear on each side. Don't expect a crust if you want anything less than medium.

5) Whole Foods has a "previously frozen" tuna that is very good for the price. I have seen it as low as $5.99/lb. Just tell them that you want to buy it frozen. They have a few thick filets and if the guy is nice he may pick them out for you.

Since we're talking about tuna... this is by bar my favorite recipe. The smoked tuna dip at Bud 'n Alleys on 30A is amazing.

mines different, semi-ceviche style with a lighter sear

i guess that would be twice cooked with a rare center

cheap piece of yellow fin, it would be a sin to cook sushi grade let alone double cook it. i would have preferred bluefin

but then again im sure that that yellow fin is the same stuff the sushi bar in that grocery sells

A blind chap was going to the fish store for something for supper but stopped a few doors short, it happened to be a house of ill repute. He said "oh I see you have mackerel on sale today".
