Frozen blackfin is really only good for tuna salad. Fortunately, it's really good for that. You can bake it or pan sear it with any seasoning you like, then mix it up like you would the canned stuff or chicken.

make tuna salad




cut the tuna up into 1-2" cubes
boil some water with zatarain's crab boil (more than you think you need) and salt
let it boil a while until you can easily break it up with a fork
cut fire and let soak for 15 min or so
drain it, shred it up
put tuna in a bowl, add mayo until a consistency you like (I'm not a fan of mayo so i just use a little)
cut a purple onion and add to desired amount
half some green grapes and do the same
let it chill and eat with crackers or on a sammich

If the loins are still whole it should be ok. I've blackened frozen blackfin before and it came out good.

I blacken the whole loin then slice thin and serve with wasabi mustard. Just make sure not to overcook it.

Its pretty good. Prob used alittle to much crab boil and it might sting alittle on the way out. No grapes, so put in some green onions that I had left over from the sausage I made today. Thanks for the help

I've got about 5lbs of blackfin so I'm gonna have a llllot of a tuna salad. I may ditch the crab boil and add diced jalapeños instead. Also might run it through the food processor for a second.

I like to smoke it lightly, then some smoked tuna salad/dip. You can make it as normal and add some softened cream cheese and just smear on a bagel too
