I know tuna is supposed to be rare, but I can't stand it that way (I'm weird about any kind of meat, don't know why). I LOVE a well-done tuna steak but I can't get a restaurant to make it for me that way (though we do have a restaurant here where you cook your own meat on this really hot piece of granite and I always get tuna). I didn't realize it could be so inexpensive so I am definitely going to try this out in the spring time. Maybe even this weekend, as it is a balmy 20 degrees).Jen and Sukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405311336533414225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725087919004055188.post-48541414643337804162008-01-23T17:13:00.000-08:002008-01-23T17:13:00.000-08:00I bought the Agave Nectar here in the US at a more...I bought the Agave Nectar here in the US at a more high-end grocery store and paid around $4-$5USD, if that helps...vixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454453475122596475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725087919004055188.post-43779186337123137962008-01-23T13:28:00.000-08:002008-01-23T13:28:00.000-08:00have just now had time to read the recipe....I may...have just now had time to read the recipe....I may try it.<BR/><BR/>Have a kinda thing about fresh tuna....it is not too fresh here in the Uk being air freighted and stuff, its ok and fresh when we buy it, but my issue with all fresh fish in Scotland is.....why is all our beautiful fresh sea fish and shell fish, the most beautiful in the world, fished and then taken by container lorries into Europe.<BR/><BR/>Most of the UK are rubbish fish eaters and prefer to eat frozen breadcrumbed stuff rather than what is on their coastline. It is a crime.<BR/><BR/>But this looks lovely and I will take your tip about not over cookin g the tune.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this blog, it is re energising me.<BR/><BR/>I may try cooking the scallop (frozen!) as its from Scotland, recipe tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Jeannie xxxxMarvin -The Hollow Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477654647518583194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725087919004055188.post-59171327336259022652008-01-23T09:36:00.000-08:002008-01-23T09:36:00.000-08:00This dish looks yummy.

It is the same price as buying Maple Syrup over here.<BR/><BR/>Love and light, Jeannie xxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
