Grilled Tuna

link>

Well I suppose tuna isn’t PC anymore. I can tell you the canned stuff sure tastes different without all that dolphin meat to bulk it up. I mean if dolphins are so smart why don’t they just get out of the way? Hmmm? It’s because all of the super smart dolphins took all the good spaces and cornered the Dolphin condo market. The dolphins that are left in the ocean getting caught in Japanese fishing nets are the “slow” dolphins. Unlike the super smart dolphins that refinanced when the interest rates dropped, and took out a little extra to finish the kitchen like they wanted to ten years ago, but then it was a decision between having the cutest kitchen this side of the international date line or actually being able to afford to buy food for cooking. And as usually practicality won the day. But now Flipper this is your time to shine.

Take the dolphins over at West Edmonton Mall for example. They have a sweet gig, just four shows a day, plenty of mackerel, lots of adoring children to eat. Double-plus the dolphin pool is close to the food court and the ice rink. Do dolphins ice skate? Probably not. No feet for one thing, yet, if we keep up nuclear testing, in a few years who knows?

 I don’t suppose the Orange Julius has mackerel flavored smoothies either. I know that GNC has fish liver oil and you can add it to a smoothie, should you so desire, still it’s just not the same as a real purred mackerel.   

Like a tofu dog verses a real hot dog. There is just no comparison.

Ingredients for four peeps:

Four Tuna Steaks

2 Tablespoons of olive or peanut oil

1 Tablespoon of sesame oil

3 Tablespoons of soy sauce

2-3 cloves oif garlic

1 Inch piece of ginger chopped fine

¼ Cup chopped green onions

Place the steaks in a single layer in a casserole or a large plastic food storage container. Pour the marinade over and marinate for several hours or overnight.

Heat a grill or ridged grill pan till hot, drain the steaks from the marinade, reserving marinage for a wee bit of brushing, and place on the grill. Grill each side for 3-4 Minutes for medium, 4-5 minutes for well done.  Brush with reserved marinade before flipping. Garnish with something and serve with a green salad.
