Title: Tuna Belly
Post by: quadrafire 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?

Post by: quadrafire on June 24, 2017, 06:10:24 PM: 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

Post by: quadrafire on June 24, 2017, 06:43:21 PM: 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.

Post by: quadrafire on June 26, 2017, 06:09:01 PM: Another belly tonight. You guys using these for bait are missing out. Vacuum sealed in some sweet chili sauce overnight.
But if I was using them for bait to catch what you are I may change my mind. haha
