Tuna

[smokin peachey]

One of my employees spent the day on the Atlantic yesterday and dropped off this 6.5lb tuna fillet tonight.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on best tuna recipes?

Sashimi or Nigiri
Hawaiian Poke
Ruby Rare Crusted with Spices/Sesame

Dang chili it’s like you heard the conversation I had with my daughters. One said Sashimi and the other Nigiri. With 6.5 lbs I do have options.
And it’s yellow fin Incase anyone is wondering

Those options are the only way I'd treat that beautiful hunk of tuna.

Man I can almost taste some Spicy Tuna Handrolls.
Thick slices over sticky sweet rice with some gari and a dab of wasabi.
Ruby Rare with plenty of sesame seeds, salt and little Ponzu sauce for dipping.

Yeah, do both Sushi and Ruby Rare.

That sounds much better than pizza

^^^^or this!!
Chile- that sounds amazing! Had an old Asian lady that grew fresh wasabi and I use to get fresh root from her. I am not a fan of the stuff in the store that is cut with horseradish. Absolutely LOVE the real deal though.....

Favorite way to eat it though is fresh caught that day sashimi tuna belly with wasabi root and good soy sauce....it is life changing!

We get fresh albacore out here. I enjoy marinating in hoisin sauce then smoking on maple wood.

I am so jealous! Nice to have a employee like that.

Yes it have great employees. I treat them good and they treat me good and get the job done.
I was actually asked to go along on the fishing trip but declined. I guess I should have went. They caught a nice load.

That's a beautiful slab of tuna Peach, enough for sashimi and some to smoke. RAY

I like @chilerelleno idea of Hawaiian Poke.

 

[jcam222]

I love it pretty simple. Seared on the outside in oil leaving it ruby red rare. Rolled in sesame seeds. Sometimes I make a dipping sauce of mayo with a bit of tamari and sesame.

 

[SmokinAl]

OMG I love tuna!
Would kill to have a filet like that!
sushi, grilled, etc!
I like it any way you cook it, even in a can!

I smoke at around 200 until the IT hits 125. I need to see if they have more the next time I go to the market.

You couldn’t pay me to eat canned tuna. Used to mix up canned tuna, hard boiled eggs, and cottage cheese for maximum protein when I played college football. Stuff was gross.

 

[HalfSmoked]

Great looking tuna filet any way you cook it would be good with me just not over cooked. But no sushi.
