Albacore Gravlax-then Stovetop Smoked

[bill barilko]

With the plenitude of Albacore Tuna here in Casa Barilko it's time for some new recipes-this one came to me just as the fishing day ended.

Albacore Loins covered with cracked black Pepper then submerged in 50/50 mix of sugar & salt & left to cure to for 24 hours

Loins fully cured most salt/sugar shaken off-much Pepper remains

Delectable chunk of Albie-this stuff is perfect!

Half done in the stovetop smoker

Completely done!

After 24hrs in the fridge

Rich delicious meaty little bites- tasting of the sea, black Pepper, & smoke

Holy Crap! Wow! I wonder what those two pieces of fish would cost out here in the middle of the Canadian Prairie?

Your slough's not big enough to have those.


... might be salty enough.

Albacore is commonly taken in Canadian waters not far off the BC coast so it should be available in larger stores anywhere from $20-$30/lb - total cost for what you're looking at $30-$40.

Remember with Loins like that it's 100% edible/no waste just don't overcook it- Best if it's still pink inside taking it off the grill then let it sit for a few minutes.
