We made an all night run yesterday from the Dominican Republic to the
Turks and Caicos islands, about 255 nautical miles. Shortly after
sunrise this morning I caught this fish in deep water just south of
the T&C. It appears to be of the tuna family but I'm not sure. I
was able to get about 6 or 7 decent steaks out of it, and the meat is
very red. We grilled up a couple for dinner tonight and they are
certainly quite edible, but not quite as good as I'd hoped. Perhaps a
different preparation is called for. Any ideas?
