Grilled Tuna Steaks. Blah for me. Yippee for others.

Never would I call my own food disgusting. But something about tuna makes me gag. True story. Unless, of course, it is cut fresh off the fish, and eaten raw. Then it's butter in my mouth.

My husband, and every other asian out there I know, loves nothing more than fish, and rice. Fish and rice. Fish and rice. That's all he wants to eat. So, I made fish. And rice. And here is the tuna recipe I used. I had some other dinner guests who also like it very much, so I thought I would share.

Grilled Tuna Steaks
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 TBL olive oil
1 TBL lemon juice
2 TBL fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 tuna steaks


Combine everything in a bowl, whisk. Combine fish and 3/4 of marinade in plastic bag, and marinate for least 30 minutes. Grill fish until desired doneness, while basting continually with leftover marinade.




Blah blah blah. This sounds so awful to me. Apparently it was really good. But like I said, I don't like tuna, unless it is fresh, and raw, and served with an obscene amount of wasabi. 


I supposed that whatever was left over, you could mash up with some relish and mayo and whatnot for a tuna salad. But the thought of that makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit. Try it with a croissant! I bet that will make it not taste like tuna-salad.


Like I said: not a fish eater, this one. But I had 3 witnesses tell me it was very good. So try it for yourself.
