too far to go! Actually, I was pulling your leg. I always have fresh ginger in the fridge. Sometimes it gets a little fuzzy, but we just cut that
part off. This yellowtail was caught last week and I froze it (in fillets). Would this still be good as sushi? If not, recommended cooking methods?

Simple: 1/4" to 3/8" slices toss into a hot butter an garlic pan. About a minute on each side. Hot pan & lots of butter & garlic. After all
the fish is cooked deglaze the pan with sherry and pour over the fish.

Age won't help it. Leave it on the counter or in the trunk of your car for as long as you want and, it's still Yellowtail, the working man's fish.
Go out and catch a nice Linguado if you want to have the ultimate Pesca experience.

I got this of the net. We tried it last weekand it was great. I think the fresher the fish the better, since it is a raw fish appetizer. Probally good
with any tuna.
TUNA TATAKI
Ingredients
1 fresh Jalapeño
1/2 cup minced ginger
1/4 cup sesame seeds
cracked black pepper
1/2 pound Baja tuna
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 sliced avocado
1 green onion thinly sliced
Mix the ginger, sesame seeds, and pepper.
Season the tuna with the salt.
Roll the tuna in the ginger mixture.
Add the oil to a saute pan and sear the tuna, about 15 seconds per side.
Remove the tuna from the pan and deglaze the pan with the lime juice. Set aside.
In a bowl mix Avocado and Green onion slices and add a little Ginger Sauce. Set aside.
Slice the tuna, and place on 4 plates, garnish with Avocado-Green onion mixture. Drizzle with some more of the ginger sauce. And finally add the Lime
you deglazed from the sauce.
Sliced the Jalapeño in very thin slices and place one on each tuna slice.
Ginger Sauce:
1 small onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
Ground black pepper
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup olive oil
In a bowl, add the shallot, ginger, a little pepper, soy sauce, and lime juice. Whisk slowly the olive oil and its ready to serve.
I also add some dry pepper flakes, buts thats a matter of taste.
It was ten in the morning so i skipped a few ingredients, and added a little fish roe and cilantro. I just posted the complete recipe i usually make.

Here's another suggestion for YT:
Grab the dead animal by the tail, smelling apparatus down, pushing it into an industrial size blender, whipping the scales and bones into a
righetous mush. With the tip of your truncheon, jamb the slimey tail in as well.
Allow the machine enough time to transform this waste of time into a gruel that can be canned up for future good use as fish fertalizer.
This noble animal will have justified the existance of the species.
When your done cleaning up....go get a good Fish Taco.

I agree with Dennis. Yellow Tail is a difficult fish to cook and enjoy.
Here is another recipe we have tried and liked.

Ok, you guys talked me into turning it into dog food (the cats won't touch the stuff) and we'll be doing hamburgers tonight instead. Why do our
friends give us all the yucky fish?

Yellowtail
You ca still eat it raw even after freezing I dont cook yellowtail I only eat it raw I have some in my freezer from last year vacumme packed. I end up
giving a lot of it to my dog as I trim all the useless meat off Still much better fresh
trust me any fish you buy in the store was frozen and thawed and refrozen and then thawed and put out to sale. Yellowtail are fun to catch and good
for sushi thats all.

Take the frozen fillets and thaw them. Marinated them with soy sauce and grill them on the barbeque. I put down foil so they don't burn and pour a
little soy on them to keep them moist. Don't over cook them. 5-10 minutes on medium heat.
Make sure you trim off any red parts. Also thinly slice off the outer layer of the meat and discard it.
I like yellowtail. Best eaten the 1st day. But it can be eaten as sushimi for about the 1st three days. Freeze any that you can't eat fresh.

Mix mayonaise, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, lime juice and lots of dill. Brush the fillets with the mix and let it sit for 15 minutes in the
refridgerator then grill the fish continue to brush the fish with the remaining mix until done but do not over cook. Flake the fish and put it in a
flour tortilla with cilantro, onions and very thin slices of cucumber and a dash or liberal amount of hot sauce.

end result: we wrapped it up in foil and put it in the oven on a cookie sheet for about 20 mins. Took it out and opened up the foil. We were
immediately glad, just from the "aroma" that we opted for the burgers. Dogs loved the smell. Cats would not touch the samples. Oh well, lots of
"toppings' for doggie breakfasts & dinners for a few days....

yellowtail recipe
My first post on this website, even though I have read it for years. In my 40+ years of flying and fishing Baja, I have been a "Yellowtail hater"
dreading the dried clingy stuff on restaurant plates...Until... While grilling on the French commercial charbroiler in the kitchen of Casa Granada in
Mulege, I seasoned a piece of Yellowtail like you would a New York Steak, with garlic salt and Montreal steak seasoning...I cut the fillet thick like
a new york steak, and I grilled it very hot, flames licking as the 3/4" iron bars made nice black lines on the fish, only a couple of minutes on each
side. I had waiting a mojo de ajo, two cloves of minced garlic in a half cube of butter, seasoned with a dash of salt, black pepper, chili powder,
comino & hot paprika. Off of the grill onto a hot plate, pour on the mojo de ajo.. Then give me your opinion. Cooked this way, probably still
rare in the middle like a steak, I find it terrific!

I forgot to mention that Yellowtail, like the Dorado, has to be eaten fresh, never frozen. Freezing breaks down the cells, resulting in that dry, dry,
fishy taste that almost nobody likes. Catch a big fish? have a party and invite all of your friends... don't bother to freeze it, or you will have
catfood.

I agree that Yellowtail more so than other fish doesn't freeze well. Freezing it, for me at least, is a hit and miss.
For Sushi lovers though, it doesn't get much better than Yellowtail (Hamachi).
What we can't eat fresh we try to smoke the rest. For those that aren't real Yellowtail fans, the alternative is to smoke it. The oily nature of the
fish helps it come out great.
There was a thread about smoked fish just search.
