Inihaw na Panga ng Tuna (Grilled Tuna Jaw)

Inihaw na Panga or Grilled Tuna Jaw is a good way to make grilled tuna. This recipe requires the fish to be marinated in a tart Teriyaki sauce overnight. The basting sauce is composed of soy sauce and granulated white sugar. It is best to use a charcoal grill for this dish because it will allow you to cook the fish evenly. It will also provide a nice smoky flavor to your dish.
