I must say that cooking on the Himalayan Salt Block adds another dimension, I did not use any oil for the sear. A wonderful meal.

Ross, I'm impressed with the browning the salt block allowed on the tuna.

Does it also impart any salty flavor?

Looks great!

Does the salt retain a fish scent/flavor for the next time you use it? I know the tuna is fairly mild, but what if you used something like salmon?

I've seen people use a heated salt block as a center piece on the table to "cook" small pieces of food. Kind of like a fondue or hibachi setup.

Looks fantastic!!!!!!
Like Lee asked I'm wondering about the salt block and if it changes the flavor much or makes it extra salty?
Can the salt block be used over and over again? I'd never heard of using one. Where do you get a salt block for the grill?

I'll be sure to pick up some Ahi at Trader Joe's this week on my weekly shopping there. You got me on an Ahi fix.

I clean the next morning with water and scrub it with a SS brush.

My kind of meal, Ross. I was out on the Gulf fishing last Wednesday and for awhile the boat was literally surrounded by blue fin tuna busting bait on the surface, hundreds of them. As hard as we tried we never did get a hookup. Our loss.

Your dinner looks fantastic.
