Default Can Anyone Identify This Fish?

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?


Wow, that looks yummy. I don't know anything about those things, how
many rows of ribs do they have? Easy to clean?

As far as tips... I have found lately that a teaspoon of orange juice in
any steamed fish seems to make it tender.
