Season with salt and pepper.Sear it in olive oil over high heat very briefly so that it is barely warm in the centre - like a very rare steak.Rest on a warm plate while you grate some lemon or lime zest over, sprinkle with lemon or lime juice and some good quality olive oil..

Also try in raw fish island style.
soak cubed tuna in lemon juice for a few hours in the fridge, then add chopped tomato onion and corriander (some people add chopped deseeded fresh chilli) then coconut cream mmmmmmmmmmm delicious.

I always imagine fresh cooked tuna would taste oily and horrid.Can anyone explain what it might taste like? Compare to another fish perhaps...I'm just curious that's all

Its been a while but closest I could describe it as is chicken breast.

if it's super fresh I'd have it sashimi style...or hawaiian style done in a little sesame oil, chilli and kikoman sauce YUMMY!
Otherwise I like it done 'plain' like Davidt4 says, with a nice side salad.

It sure doesn't taste like chicken out of a can....I'd love to try it fresh, but I have never seen it in fish shops down this way.Swap ya a tuna for a lamb!!!

Fresh tuna is wonderful! No comparison with canned, and certainly not strong or oily. I like mine seasoned with olive oil, salt and smoked paprika and either BBQd or pan seared.

Pan Fried Spiced Tuna ~ skin on.. Make a baste/sauce.. 1/4 cup lime juice..2 tbsp vegetable oil.. 1/4 tsp ground ginger..1/4 cup soy sauce.. 1~2 garlic cloves, minced.. In a frypan, place butter and a drizzle of oil and lay your tuna steak skin side down..brush with the sauce mix You will see the tuna cooking as the heat progresses and when it reaches 1/3 of the way up, turn it over..baste the other side with sauce mix... Let cook till 1/3 way up and then pour in half the sauce mix...Let sauce heat up and baste a few times to coat well..rest a minute or two and serve hot. Use the other half of the sauce mix to drizzle over top..should be pink inside the middle ...dont over cook
