Smoked Ahi (Tuna) Spread
The last beach day we had, we wanted to go all out on snacks! After all, what’s a beach day without enjoying some tasty treats? We took inspiration from the sea and decided to test out this delicious Smoked Ahi Spread to really encompass all of the Hawaiian beach feels!
In this recipe, we season Ahi (tuna) with a few of our favorite Hawaiian seasonings to create a smoky spiced flavor that’s perfect on crackers or a sandwich. 🥪
The Liquid Smoke from For Js, Hawaiian Hot Sauce from Da Kine, and Volcano Legend Seasoning from Ohana Spice Trading Company are all to thank for this savory spread you'll want to serve to your next crowd (or enjoy all on your own!)
**Hawaiian Ahi, also known as Yellowfin or Bigeye tuna, is a local fish that is used across so many of our authentic recipes. It's a go-to because of its smooth and buttery taste, but also because it is packed with Vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
