Do you have to be careful to not over cook tuna? I take it you are bbq them after marinating them?

Yes.

We just had some yellowfin that a neighbor caught and cooked for us.  She rolled it in cracked pepper and sea salt and dry fried it for only enough time to cook it about 3/8 of an inch in.  Dip in a little teryaki and   :drool:

Don't laugh, but  a friend told me to try this and it was actually pretty darned good.
Mix a bit of mayo and soy together, slather on the tuna and sear until medium rare. I overcooked it, too done for me but my wife liked it.

It just needs about 2 minutes per side. Pink in the middle. It also makes great sushi.  Marinate in Soy, rice wine vinegar, diced green onions, shredded ginger, minced garlic and some pepper. Let it marinate for at least 4 hours. Eat raw or BBQ a couple minutes. I avoid cooking tuna inside as it has avery strong smell that lingers for days.

Yep, or get your grill up to 500 degrees and throw it on for a minute or two per side.
Sear it do not cook it all the way through.

Like many of the ways mentioned so far.  Though I think my favorite is Fish & Chips.  I lightly flower and then dip in tempura batter.  Fried in extremely hot peanut oil.  The tempura allows me to cook the batter well without cooking all the way to center.  A chef friend turned me on to this and it has been great!  He actually freezes the cuts after dipping in the tempura.  Then fries while frozen so there is less chance to over cook if you want the tempura really crispy.  I haven't found the need to go that far, but I did try it and it certainly was good.

I also like smoked albacore!  Just have to be real careful not to over cook or over smoke.  When smoking I like to use a dark rum and brown sugar marinade.  Then smoke in the Weber instead of a traditional smoker.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

I recommend leaving it mostly raw and just searing the outsides.

Alton brown did a show where he used a chimney charcoal starter to concentrate the heat and do this.
