Tail Cut

Tail-cut of Wahoo is smaller and faster-cooking. Fold thin ends under for even heat in sauced dishes. As a tail cut section of steak, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep wahoo tail cut iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave rare when quality allows for seared or raw service). Grilling, searing, poke, and smoking suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame large mild flake.
