Tuna Belly
« on: June 21, 2017, 08:52:46 AM »
Ran across a few in the bottom of my freezer. I've only marinated and grilled them. Any other ideas?

Agree with 2 many.  Very good smoked as well.

They are hard to smoke since they are so oily.  The only way I like them is pan fried.  They also make really good crab bait.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Rub with rock salt and seasoning then put them on a hot grill skin side down. Burn em up for a good while then peel the good oily meat away from the skin and enjoy! Don't over indulge or you might leave a mark....

Thanks for the replies. I cleaned out the freezer and canned all the rest today. Will experiment with the bellies. Think I'll fry some to see.

Smoked tuna bellies are one of the best things you'll ever eat.

Poach in olive oil, with lemon, shallots and thyme. Just google Tuna confit. It's not really that hard to make. Sounds harder than it is.

Damn Merc you were spot on with the confit. Really good.
Tuna belly confit with cabbage, beets, red onion, blue cheese cilantro with a balsamic vinaigrette

I poached in olive oil, peppercorns, bay leaves and time. 145 degrees for 10 min and let cool in the oil and refrigerated to flake on the salad. Thanks. This was really good. My first confit.
