Caring for Tuna Start to Finish

red34 · 08-11-2008, 08:10 PM

I love catching tuna, but have never been able to master cooking it to match the ahi-style that I've had in restaurants. I don’t do any prep other than having the deckhands toss them into the cooler. Sometimes I’ll cut through the gills to try to bleed them out some before they go into the cooler. Please give me tips to ensure that I’ll have great fish to take home while not missing out on a hot bite with too much prep.

1. Care / storage immediately after catch
2. Filleting / cleaning
3. Home storage
4. Food prep / marinating
5. Grilling / searing

Thanks
