I'll tell you what, if you've never had the opportunity to dismantle a large fish with a skeptical but interested audience, can you truly say that you've fully experienced the process?
We started processing the second tuna this weekend. We did the first one a few weeks back; see that post here.
This time, we're smoking part of it, and planning to can that (if we don't eat it all first). I sort of offhandedly mentioned it to a friend, who promptly asked if she could come watch, learn, and help. The night before, the whole "I have a large fish, in three layers of plastic, defrosting in an ice chest in my bathtub" thing was just so bizarre, I posted it on Facebook with a comment that "We don't do Normal very well around here", which spurred another friend to ask if she could come. I ended up with two helpers plus Mr. Caffienated (who, honestly, did 80% of the work). One of my guests did a photo collage of the crazy.
It's currently smoking with applewood on the back porch in the Big Chief smoker.
Thankfully, it's not pouring down rain like it was yesterday!
