Default Re: Long Fin Tuna???

Call me a cheapskate if you want but after we fillet or butcher up the beasts I take a grapefruit spoon and spend ten minutes or so in the carcass pulling the meat from the spine and from around the head theres almost always 2 or three pounds of prime meat there no matter how good you are with the knife.You gotta get this stuff in a zip lock bag quick though and right on the ice. When you get home you can add spices to the bag and boil it in a big pot while still inthe bag this cooks the tuna in its own juices instead watering down. My friendly chinese food takeout gets the heads and they cookup some soups that are out of this world . This stripping method only takes a few minutes and we do it with striper also striper salad is really good also or these smaller pices that would go in the dumpster are excellent for fish tacos or macaroni salad.
