Tuna! Now available on the beach!

So last night word on the street (and on bloodydecks.com) was a fish pen outta Mexico (from out around the Coronado Islands) either detached and/or blew open and surged some tuna goods up here. Bluefin tuna. Some alive and disoriented, some that just checked out, and some that were pretty tore back/gnawed up by whatever. From Tijuana up to Coronado, just south of SD. No joke.

Of course I can't confirm or deny any involvement, or the tuna's whereabouts, but I guess it's either us or the gulls now.

Oh yeah, grill and a smoker. Maybe a smoker, or some seared. Depends on the quality. Will find out in a bit.

Not yet, maybe I'll get one. It'll probably be great, but I don't know about me doing up a pic worthy presentation.

Totally! Bluefin sashimi is my all time fave.
 
Even though I probably wouldn't know the perfect way of cutting that fish up, I must admit, I'm jealous of your find! Next to Salmon, Tuna is my next favorite fish.
 
Man, my comp ate a whole post! Tuna bluefin, yellowfin, then albacore are my top three, prob cause that's what you can catch here. I know I'd eat more salmon if I was up north. I can't begin to imagine all the salmon TB's been into. Only had it super fresh once from a pilot buddy who went up on a trip and flew some back. It was incredible! Ruined me on our market's stuff though.

Well, I better shut it and get cuttin.

I eats more salmon than any man seen.

I would probably guess I have caught well over 10,000 salmon of the 5 pacific salmon varieties in my lifetime. Almost all released.

Nice score on the tuna! I've never hooked one. Funny, I've talked to mrs. blues several times about heading to SD and booking a charter. Know anyone who fly fishes for tuna?
 
Man Boutros that is awesome. I can think of so many things to do with that fish! I just had some yellowfin and bluefin sushi and shashimi the other night. Yum.

No, I don't. I'm sure there's some real anglers here that do. I'll ask the few I know. Not a skill I have yet. We pretty much troll, baitfish on paddies, and stagger around :cheers:

I know, wish there was more. I gave away most of it to friends and family, my neighbors. Pays off though cause they get out more than I do and hook it up.

No good meal pics, just a quick real late night hack job thrown on a plate before I passed out. Basic fish tacos w/ Manzanos.
