Inihaw na Panga ng Tuna - Grilled Tuna_

It is good to be very early when shopping for groceries. It is the time when the butcher prepares the fresh tuna for the day. One perk is being able to request the nice guy to reserve the tuna jaw for myself. He prepared it while I shop around. It can never be more convenient than that!

Inihaw na Panga ng Tuna Recipe

Here is what I did to come-up with a gorgeous looking and delicious tasting grilled tuna. The fish needs to be marinated to be tasty. A combination of soy sauce, garlic, pepper, chili, lime and sugar were used. This went inside the refrigerator overnight. It was cooked in a charcoal grill. This was my convenient grill that I carry around when we go camping or have a picnic in the park. It gives the fish a nice smoky flavor. The tuna was basted with sweet soy sauce (or teriyaki sauce) while grilling. Simply combine soy sauce and white sugar to make the basting sauce.
