Season Bullet Tuna with lemon, garlic, black pepper, salt and a little oil. Grill at about 200°C for roughly 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Fresh Bullet tuna taste benefit comes from its firm, meaty flesh and pronounced savoury ocean character. It is more substantial than delicate white fish, so it works particularly well with garlic, lemon, black pepper, chilli, cumin and other strong seasonings.
Its texture is useful in dishes where you want the fish to remain intact rather than break apart during cooking. Grilling, pan searing, curry and rice based seafood dishes are especially suitable.
Bullet Tuna is a pelagic marine fish found in warm tropical and subtropical waters. Auxis rochei belongs to the Scombridae family, which also includes other tuna and mackerel species.
FAO Area 51 represents the Western Indian Ocean and can be relevant to Bullet Tuna sourcing. The exact catch region can change by batch, so the origin should be checked against the individual supply record rather than presented as a fixed origin for every order.
• Firmness checked before cutting: Bullet Tuna is selected for firm flesh because this fish is commonly prepared as grilled portions, steaks or substantial curry pieces.
• Cut to order: Instead of relying on pre packed portions, Fresh Fish Dubai cleans and cuts the fish after you place the order. This helps you receive the preparation you actually requested.
Use medium high heat and season with cumin, coriander, paprika, black pepper and lemon. Cook for around 3 to 5 minutes per side until properly cooked.
Add cleaned Bullet Tuna pieces to a cooked onion, tomato, garlic, turmeric and coriander base. Simmer gently for around 10 to 12 minutes, depending on portion size.
