Marlin

[44 bbq]

My nephew caught a 275 marlin. It's cut up and vac sealed. Has anyone cooked marlin and if so what is the process. The meat is red and I assume you should soak in vinegar or something to draw out the blood.

Just grill it up. Its just a bloody fish like tuna or bluefish. I like it. I like fish that tastes like fish not styrofoam

[THUMPERRRR]

squeeze some lemon one her if ya want...(I do)

Don't soak it, just grill it up like ya would a steak. We caught one while fishing the aloha jackpot tournament in Hawaii many years back. Some great eating for sure.

No soak!! Rub a bit of olive oil on both sides of the marlin and season both sides liberally with salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Cook the fish for 3 minutes on each side over high heat...

Good eats right there!!

I've only caught one striped marlin but used to game fish every summer and it's good cooked any way fresh but under cook it like you would tuna or sword fish.
It makes awsum smoked fish though... Hot or cold smoked.
If you've got a lot defiantly brine and cold smoke it if you want to freeze it long term .
Thawed it makes an awsum smoked fish chowder

Marinade in lemon juice and s n p then mix with diced papers tomato onion celery and coconut cream

May try and cook it different ways to see which way we prefer

I caught a 241 pound Blue Marlin in 1970. (9' 4 1/2" long)

We grilled it just like Fresh Tuna, but I didn't know anything about or have a smoker at that time.
We gave most of it away to Tens of Green People.
