We grilled our tuna, instead of frying it and it was really very very good! It is wonderfully quick and easy to prepare, nothing fiddley at all in the preparation, and the resulting is a beautifully light and delicious meal. Our accompaniments were flavored rice and fresh garden salad. We love fish and this is definitely a meal that we will have again and again.
