Tuna recipes

[quadrafire]

Nice ipkus. Thanks for the info.
I cracked a jar of the smoked/canned this morning to make a tuna salad sandwich for lunch. Great stuff, it wasn't oversmoked for my taste.
I will keep playing around with recipes. Haven't tried the Bomb yet.
Have been eating some sashimi, some spicy tuna rolls and some grilled with the marinade below

1/4 cup veg oil
4 cloves minced garlic
2 TBL soy sauce
1/4 tsp dry mustard
3 TBL fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
combine ingredients-whisk
put in bowl or ziplock with either tuna steaks (I used a loin instead of steaks)
marinate no longer than 45 min.
Depending on how thick your steaks are or if it is a loin will dictate you cooking time. Grill or sear hot until medium rare.
I over did some and it still tasted great but was just a bit dry/flaky, still not bad and the wife liked it better that way.
The Belly was great with that marinade. That is probably my favorite part of the fish grilled so far. Grilled skin side down

Well I was on the fence about trying this, but couldn't resist due to my southern midwest taste buds (fried anything)

Sliced a loin cross wise about 3/4 in, egg wash, dredged w/ 1/2 flour 1/2 corneal and some s&p. Fried at 350 for about 4 min
Meat was moist, a bit firm but very tasty, not what I was expecting (thinking canned tuna flavor) but was more like catfish. Overall pretty decent and I would do it again.

A guy I work with shared tuna balls the other day

Cut loin in chunks wrap bacon

I think he said 350 for 15 minutes in the oven then finish off on the bbq with bbq sauce

Slice it up and dip it in wasabi soy sauce.

Tuna bomb is awesome.  The big key is don't over cook it.  It should be just seared and raw in the middle.  Sushi is good too.  Canned albacore is great.

Tuna is the bomb! My recipe... Cut loins into 2inch steaks, roll in olive oil, Johnny's and pepper, roll in sesame seeds. Get grill as hot as possible,coat a clean grill with oil.(onion soaked in oil on a fork) cook 2 min. Each side max. Super easy too over cook tuna! With wasabe damn good. Also you can go 50-50 with soy and olive oil or sesame oil.

I canned a large amount last year.  My favorite recipe is a few twists of fresh ground black pepper and a 1/2 tsp of kosher salt in the bottom of a half point jar, add tuna to within half inch of the top, then another couple of twists of fresh ground black pepper on top.  12# for 100 minutes.  Not overly spiced so you can use it for anything (salad, sandwich,  dip, etc), but good enough to pop the lid and just fork it into your pie hole, bachelor-style.
Just picked up some smoked tuna bellies from my neighbor tonight, they are better than good.

I cooked up the tuna bomb recipe last night. Let me tell ya this one is a winner. Oh so good. I have grilled it many times and love it but the bomb is something you need to try if you haven't.
