Title: Reel Service Bonus
Post by: Tightlines667 on July 25, 2014, 08:09:20 AM
Just finished a rush job on a 130ST that got worked over pretty good by a nice Blue.  In return I was given a bonus...fresh Blue Marlin steaks(from said fish).

A little lime juice, Hawaiian Sea Salt mix (Ginger, garlic, cracked sea salt, and pepper) on the Marlin and 12mins on the grill.

A side medley of Sweet mini pepers, green pepers, home grown cherry tomatoes, Maui sweet onions, capers, mini artichoke hearts, some lemon juice, butter, and a bit of Italian dressing salt and pepper.. Wrapped up in a tin foil packet on the grill...makes a nice topping.

And a side of fried garlic potatoes Obrien...

Good eats.

The marlin is a bit chewy, but had a wonderful flavor, as it was treated well and was very fresh.

One of the great side bonuses of running a fishing reel repair buisness here in HI...I often get a bit of fresh fish.

Yum!
Pics have my mouthwatering, the vegetable medley almost sounds better than the Marlin.

I agree on the chewiness of marlin, but it has more flavor than cooked tuna.  Thanks for inviting us to dinner.  Dominick

I've had smoked blue marlin & it was excellent. Would like to catch one myself one day.
