Tuna steak

Following on from the previous post, I enjoyed a healthy seafood lunch at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Friday. It was held to showcase the venue to visiting organisers of the World Aquaculture Symposium in 2014.

The main course was sublimely delicious, featuring southern bluefin tuna steak from Port Lincoln. I had never eaten a tuna steak before, but now I’m looking for more.

We had a Japanese “executive” chef, who obviously knew what he was doing, for if it was me cooking I wouldn’t have had a clue how long to grill the fish. It seemed pretty rare inside and looked something like this (pictured).

Tuna is said to be an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, potassium, selenium, and vitamin B12. It’s also a good source of niacin and phosphorus.

Tuna supposedly reduces the risk of stroke and helps prevent heart disease, high blood pressure and Alzheimer’s disease.

And it tastes good.

    If you like tuna Michael and are cooking it for yourself…try wrapping it in foil with a little butter, lemon or salad dressing drizzled over it…bake it in the oven 180 deg C for 20 minutes.
