Blackened Tuna for Supper 06-15-09

I got some fresh wild Yellow Fin Tuna Saturday morning and decided to do it blackened this evening...not only is blackening a great way to cook but it is very time efficient (read quick)...

I also got some nice fresh shrimp I boiled and decided to blacken some shrimp too...cooked on the grill at 650F on a black iron griddle....had some fresh stir fried asparagas with sesame seeds too...great stuff...

my belly is full and I hear the rack monster callin' me....night all....

Currently suffering from yellow fin fever. Supper looks really really good. Never had yellow fin that way and would love to do some up.

This guy landed here in Point Loma with a 362.1 pound yellow fin yesterday.

So does it cook all the way through AJ? and is the blackening like a crust when done?

yes and yes LV...cooked the shrimp about a minute on each side and the tuna about 2-3 minutes per side...

Blackening is a Cajun style crust of sorts. The spices blacken on the meat or fish.

Excellent on fish, especially catfish and dolphin fish.

Tell me about it. I lived for four years in Clear Lake Texas, south of Houston and my wife and I used to drive over to Kemah at dawn and buy fresh Gulf shrimp off the boats for like $5/pound for the most beautiful shrimp you've ever seen.

We'd boil them in a big outdoor gas pot with Old Bay Crab Boil and have a bunch of friends over. It was cheap and just phenomenal eating.
