Smoked tuna w/ pron

[qndummy]

This my first time trying to post pron and I hope it all works ok.

Went tuna fishing last Thursday and caught a few bluefin tuna. I had to smoke the bellies and some chunks. It is some very fine eating.

I brined the tuna in a basic salt and sugar brine, then air dried in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Basted with Yoshidas and sprinkled some crushed red pepper on it and smoked for 3 hours at 180. came out real good.

Bellies on smoker

Got rushed for time at the end of the smoke and forgot to take pron of finished tuna on the grill. Took pron afterwards.

Finished Smoked Chunks

Thanks for checking out my smoked tuna

The rest went for steaks. Grilled bluefin steaks is as good as smoked.
