Aku Tuna Poke
Last Sunday I went out with the local kayak fishing club in pursuit of Blackfin Tuna. Although a couple of my friends did get one, Blackfin was not in the cards for me.
https://i.postimg.cc/y8cGLsbM/King1d-Ewcw.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/BvNMz6cV/Kingbig2g-Ewcw.jpg King Mackerel and Little Tunnies were. Little Tunnies(frequently referred to as Bonito) are considered junk fish by most Floridians and are usually thrown back or harvested for bait purposes. https://i.postimg.cc/7Y6DtG3p/LT1Ewcw.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Rhbrxd72/LT1-Release-Ewcw.jpg Since I missed out on the Blackfin, I dispatched,bleed and gutted a Little Tunny for eating purposes. https://i.postimg.cc/Mpz797wk/DSCF0735-LTFillet.jpg The meat is very red compared to other Tuna. https://i.postimg.cc/P5fDWdbT/DSCF0735-LTFilletb.jpg I used Yanni's recipe https://www.fishermansbelly.com/single-post/aku-tuna I substituted Little Tunny and Tangerines for Skipjack and Passion fruit since both were less available. https://i.postimg.cc/dVtYwfF5/Poke4.jpg I used a large lemon instead of a small one and it turned out a bit waterier. https://i.postimg.cc/FK40Y0PC/Poke5.jpg None the less scrumpalicious! It's a good thing more Floridians have yet to develop a taste for Poke a la Little Tunny, or they would not be so abundant. Thank you Yanni! |
Looks good and congrats on the catches! We kayaked out of Vero Beach on Sat, and there were no bonita to be seen.
