Tuna recipe?

[inthewall]

My parents just caught a bunch of albacore on the oregon coast. Anyone have a good recipe. I might grill it on the weber.

if it's fresh, just do it like a steak, hot and fast, leave most of it raw. if it's frozen give it to the cat.

I like it very lightly seared. Very lightly. If at all. And some wasabi.

Clean the fish without letting tap water contaminating the meat (chlorine cooks/fawks up good tuna), cut perpendicular to the fillet and make nice steaks about 2 inches thick, put in a ziplock bag, and throw it in the trash because albacore tuna sucks.......that is why they put it in a can and not yellow or bluefin tuna.

Seriously, I have never had fresh albacore tuna. Like Steve said, don't freeze it. Tuna is very high in fat and fish oil doesn't freeze so it just rots in the freezer. Also, I was serious about the tap water.

Edit: I like a honey/mustard glaze on tuna. Just sear it and enjoy.......

the chlorine makes sense, never heard of that before, good info dos equis.

Well I don't eat tuna all of the time but when I do, I am loaded on Dos Equis so it really doesn't even matter WTF it tastes like.

If you have more than you can eat fresh, albacore takes to smoking AWESOMELY!

I think my favorite recipe is freshly washed and smother briefly in thong sauce. I like it raw.

I seared it, and made tuna melt sandwiches. Wife made some kind of pesto sauce for it and it turned out pretty good.

Old recipe but it still tastes great!

Brush a thin coat of dijon mustard or mayonnaise (sounds weird but its great) onto each large flat side of the tuna steaks. Place black or white (or a mix of both) sesame seeds in a plate. Each coated side of your tuna steaks gets placed on the sesame seeds so that you have a thin but even coating of seeds.

Hot cast iron pan...then add 2-3T butter swirling around the pan to evenly coat...then when the butter has gotten to the brown stage and certainly before the butter burns sear those tuna steaks on each side for about 30-60 seconds per side. Slice. Enjoy.
