Recently got my hands on a fresh blackfin. Had one of our butchers break it down for me and now have lots of fish for my freezer. He vac sealed the collar for me. I have never attempted to cook a collar myself but I've had them in restaurants. Anybody have any experience on technique or a recipe?

I've never cooked it. But if you have lots of it a fantasy foorball draft would be a great place for it. Let's say one that last a couple of days and is located at a fishing camp on a barrier island. Sounds like a great idea.

That's a very specific time and place to enjoy some tuna. Unfortunately, a tuna only has one collar and it will not feed the masses. Perhaps some of the loin could make it to said barrier island getaway....

You are going to want to grill it over charcoal and serve it with a sauce with a good heat, sweet, and sour component. Something like a pepper jelly vinaigrette

if you like pepper jelly vinergrette

try this
1-2 jars of red pepper jelly
1 bottle of tiger sauce
1 bottle of Heinz 57/ Walmart brand is fine
a couple nice shots of honey

combine all on stove top cook at med/high heat until jelly has broken down completely.

It is not the cheapest to make but it fantastic as the jelly/ honey caramelizes when used as a basting sauce.

I baste it on pork and use it as a dipping sauce for chicken and lamb chop lollipops.

This sounds pretty good. Wouldn't want it to stick to the grill though. Might fall apart.

Throw it under a broiler then.
