re: Buddy's smoked tuna dip

Keep it simple. From Harbor Docks:

1 quart water
1/4 cup salt
2 1/2 lbs. fresh yellowfin tuna
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (can use more or less depending on your preferred consistency)
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Hot sauce to taste



Combine salt and water. Soak tuna steaks in a salt water brine for one hour before smoking. Transfer to a smoker and smoke until cooked through (do not overcook). Chop smoked tuna steaks to your desired consistency (rough chopped or finely chopped - Harbor Docks chops fine)

In a stainless steel mixing bowl, combine smoked tuna, mayonnaise, pepper and garlic powder and mix well. Harbor Docks doesn't use hot sauce in their recipe, but offers it tableside to be added for individual tastes.
