Title: Bluefin collars
Post by: CooldadE on August 18, 2021, 07:35:00 PM
Grilled up some Bluefin collars last night...Food of the Gods ! Not much of a recipe, marinated in Very Very Teriyaki sauce overnight then grilled. Next time I think I'll add fresh Ginger to the marinade...

Kama is the best part of the fish IMO. I cut out collars on everything I catch over 7 lbs.

Yummmm!!! I like to salt my BFT kama and broil them, with soy sauce, ponzu, and ground daikon as separate condiments for dipping. Got addicted to this years ago when I lived in Japan.

On a side note...A couple of days ago I smoked some of my BF as my wife does not eat it raw or seared. I cut it into 1" thick strips , 4 hr soak in a teriyaki base brine. Slow smoked with Alder chips but not to long...moist and yummy ! Today I smoked another batch but added fresh ginger to the brine .For some reason the processors left some skin on some of the fillets. They smoked up very nicely and in fact were the best pieces in the batch. After pealing the skin off the extra fat layer left behind made it crazy good !

Cool

Yes i,m thinkin always leave the skin on when smoking almost any fish.  This is how i grew up, Salmon , tuna, even bottonfish,   it peels off easilyanyway.   This renders the meat with its own fats and prevents dryness.    Just saying. ;)

Agree 100 percent, whether grilling or smoking.

teriyaki, ginger, and a little sherry makes a GREAT marinade...a buddy that fishes AK for salmon turned me onto it.
