Offshore from San Diego
Tuna & Yellowtail Recipes
Bluefin, yellowfin and yellowtail from our offshore trips out of San Diego. Some of it goes raw as sashimi, poke and crudo, and the rest gets seared, cured or turned into curry and butter masala.
These are our tuna and yellowtail recipes, from the first slice on the boat to the collar on the grill.
From the boat to the kitchen
How we handle it
Bleed it and chill it fast
Bleed, gut and get tuna into ice slush quickly. It makes the difference between good and great for raw dishes.
Cook it hot and fast
Tuna dries out past medium rare. Sear hard and leave the middle pink.
Don't waste the collar
The kama, or collar, is one of the best bites on the fish. Grill or broil it with a simple marinade.
