After reading one of the fishing magazines about how it was the secret “Captain’s Choice,” I started keeping them. And YES they are good eating.

I caught on to it when I was working at a deli in college. Everyone loved our tuna salad, and we used 100% skipjack tuna…

Almost all canned tuna (chunk light) is skipjack from the pacific. Next one I keep I’m going to can since it wont’ freeze well. I’m also going to try with a blackfin tuna.

Its really easy to do. Check it out.

Jordan, remove the whole side the same as with say a grouper, keep the skin on and hickory smoke it in a water smoker (180- 220) for about 3.5 hrs. take the fillets and remove the skin, blood meat and pin bones. the meat that is left will make the best tuna salad you have ever eaten. You can freeze it after smoking and it will keep just fine. This works well with blackfin as well.
