I bought 2 tuna steaks in Marks today with some vinagerette to serve with them. Ive never had acutal fresh tuna (not out of a tin) Does anybody know if its dry or not?

I had it in summer at my sisters for the first time ever, if you fry it just right its not too dry at all, and tastes beautiful!

I seem to remember its very easy to overcook, it doesn't take long at all...shame Mike Cunliffe isn't around he has loads of good cooking advice!

I found it dry but it may have been because I overcooked it.

Snap guest I was just thinking the same about Mike because he is a great guy for the fish. Either way enjoy it.

If you want to pan cook it, heat your pan first, and then let it cook very quickly - say 2 mins each side as you would do a steak. If it is pink in the middle, it will not kill you and means that you've a juicy meal in prospect.

You can also grill it - again quickly does it. You can also slice it thinly and squirt it with lime juce/lemon juice to 'cook' it in the acid of the juice.

The Japanese eat it raw as sashimi - and it tastes great.

It was lovely in the end I just showed it the pan and it was really juicy and tasty - if youd have told me it was anything but tuna I would have believed you - it was nothing like the tuna in a tin. I will definitely get it again
