The bellies are super oily but if you can trim and skin them and then just give a very brief bit of time over charcoal then spatula that onto some nice fresh crusty bread with mayo and tomato........well, you may just have made a sandwich that you will remember in your dreams.

You are so right! Canned my first fresh about 20 years ago and cant even look at store bought. Its interesting when you share with someone who has never had fresh. They are not even sure what it is but go crazy over it.

To make it, marinate tuna in teriyaki sauce. Pre-cook some bacon and cut in 1” squares just enough so that on the grill the bacon will finish. Cut pineapple into squares.

Assemble bacon, tuna, pineapple brush the grill with coconut oil and then cook on the grill. I’ll brush with teriyaki sauce while cooking. If you think they are done you have cooked them to long.

Take 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbs yuzu, 1 tbs sesame oil, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger and 1 tsp honey and marinade tuna loin for about 30 min.

Crust in white and black sesame seeds. Sear over high heat for about 2 min a side.

Serve with rice, grilled bok choy, green onions, pickled onions, avacado, grilled mushrooms and some spicy tuna sauce.
