Sea Harvest recently launched three new products onto the market and I decided that I would use the vouchers that they sent me to buy the Fine Dine tuna steaks. I bought 2 boxes and each one contained 2 separately packed yellowfin tuna steaks weighing a total of 200g per box. These are approved as part of the Heart and Stroke Foundation eating plan. Dave and I eat quite a lot of fresh tuna and so it was great to be able to have these in the freezer for when tuna is not in season. I cooked the tuna from frozen, as per the box recommendation. The first box I took out of my freezer which is set to -18° Celsius and the centre was still frozen after cooking for 2 minutes per side. I then tried the next 2 using my other freezer which is set at a normal temperature for home use and the inside was still cold. I would recommend that you either cook them for 3 minutes per side from frozen, or defrost them in the fridge overnight. The plus side is that I can keep these in the freezer for when we end up having surprise visitors. I brushed mine with oil, seasoned with salt and added ground coriander to one side, and ground cayenne pepper to the other. After cooking I squeezed on fresh lime juice and added fresh coriander.

Have a wonderful weekend Tandy.

I don’t do it often but I have a few more vouchers to use and so will definitely get some more 🙂
What a great giveaway. Too bad I don’t like in South Africa. I’ll have to tell my friend to enter =) I had fresh tuna once, on our Honeymoon, we went on a deep sea expedition in the Virgin Islands and my husband actually got one. But we took it to the hotel to cook up for us =)
Wow, that must have been an amazing experience! Good luck to your fried if she enters Laura 🙂
I love fresh tuna, Tandy, but it isn’t something I often think of buying. Now you’ve persuaded me to grab some next time I’m in the supermarket!
Glad I have inspired you Helen 🙂
Sounds like a great product – Tandy.
Worth having in the freezer Rachel 🙂
Interesting that the instructions they gave were a bit off as you definitely don’t want frozen bits in the centre!
I agree, but that is easily overcome I think by defrosting the tuna first 🙂
