Smoke Tuna - Great

[gotbbq]

Today i made cold smoked tuna, like lox only way better.  I followed the dry/wet brine follwed by 3 hrs of adler smoke.  I'm not sure im gonna make lox from salmon again.  The tuna was superior.

I know, I know. It pains me to say it as an old salmon fisherman but tuna is so good! Most people only associate it with canned tuna. Glad you tried it, I'm going to do a batch of cold smoked tuna and salmon in the next week or so with Spyguy's recipe so it's nice to hear it worked out. Are you into sushi?

Big time into sushi, eating and making.  I lived near Fort Lee (NJ) for a long time, a large Japanese comminity.  Have been eating and making for over 25 years.  I'm headed to Japan again in April for 2 weeks, always great food and drink.  Are you a sushi consumer?

At least once a week. I used to make it all the time but lately have got lazy or maybe it's just there is a good sushi takeout place near my place. I figure the draw of using my own cold smoked tuna should be enough to get me back into making it.

The cold smoked is almost like raw, texture wise, with a good complex flavor.

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?

Couldn't tell you the price for everything on your list off hand Chez but my stomach and I are willing to do the research.[;)] We'll get back to you. Now that I think about it, at my takeout place, 2 California rolls are about $5 and a plate of mixed sushi and maki is $8.50--Canadian pesos.

Bubba,

That mix would run about 60.00 in NY.  Not including 35.00 for parking, 15 for tolls.[:D]

The most of the menu with the exception of the soup and salad and 3 beers is free here as BAIT! The soup/salad and three beers would run $567.83!! [:D][;)][:0][:D]

35 years of extinguishing smoking stuff and now I'm wondering WHY!
