Tuna steaks....?!
Answers: i am cooking tuna steaks for my food c.w and i was wondering if anyone new of a website or could tell me a reasonably easy method to get the steaks if i brought the whole fish?
You would have to loin out the tuna, there are 4 sections to a fish, a 35 lb tuna would give you alot of portions, cut laterally down the middle, follow the lateral line, then do the same at the top of the fish, start at the top where the head was. follow the bones, go slow and easy and you will end up with a quarter loin of the fish, it really is not hard but not easy unless you have some sort of knife experience

Marinated Tuna Steaks
The marinade gives them a lovely flavor. Marinating time not included.
4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks, 1 inch thick
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 crushed garlic clove
3 tablespoons olive oil
ground black pepper
Mix together: soy, sherry, lemon juice, zest, garlic and olive oil.
Marinate the steaks in this for up to 1 hour, turning frequently.
When ready to cook, lift from the marinade and sprinkle with black pepper.
Heat a grill pan or a frying pan (not using any oil or butter) until really hot and sear the steaks for several minutes on both sides to your likeness but do not over-cook them.
Or cook them on the barbque.

Tuna is one of the richest sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, an essential component for a balanced diet - with benefits ranging from cardiac health to long-term memory retention. It's high in protein and low in fat and carbs.

I hope you have a very big kitchen or a very big bank balance, if not both, tuna`s are huge and they cost about ￡3 for one steak. They don`t need much cooking, just a few minutes either side in a hot griddle pan, if you cook them too long you will be able to sole your shoes with them.
The whole fish? Have you seen a whole Tuna? It is the size of a small dolphin. I hope you have a big freezer.
Best stick with steaks from your fishmonger.
