Smoked Fresh Tuna on the GMG DC

[smoker pete]

The Money $Shot$ ...     



Got some fresh Tuna filets from Kat on Monday and after tasting her smoked Tuna sample I decided to smoke one of the filets and freeze the other.  The filet was really thick so I sliced it and cut it into manageable pieces.



Marinaded the Tuna for 4 hours using Mr. Yoshida's Sweet Teriyaki Original Gourmet Sauce



Patted the Tuna dry and allowed it to dry a little for an hour



Preheated the GMG Davy Crockett to 180ºF with Hickory.  Smoked at 180º for an hour and then increased the pit temperature to 250ºF until the internal temperature reached 145ºF.



The Tuna is naturally not as oily as Salmon so no "buggers" developed    but boy did it ever taste fantastic!

Looks like we all will have to give this smoked tuna recipe a try.  Have had plenty of smoked salmon before, smoked tuna looks good too.

I will bet that the smoke flavor goes very well withe the teriyaki flavor.

How was the texture?

The texture was very similar to the salmon that I have smoked on the DC using this technique pz.  I would say that the salmon turns out a bit more moist but that's probably cause it has more natural oil.
