A crunchy, tasty treat for your fish-loving fur babies!

Try this recipe with strips of tuna trimmed off the loin, belly, or scraped from the frame. You can also try it with pieces from other fish, particularly yellowtail.

Ingredients

• 1 lb of tuna trim pieces

• 2 tablespoons minced ginger

• 2 tablespoons dried basil

• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

• ¼ cup raw honey

• 1 cup apple cider vinegar

• water

How to Prepare

1. Combine ginger, basil, cinnamon, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Whisk to emulsify.

2. Cut tuna into strips, against the grain. Going against the grain will allow for easier breaking into bites later. In a bowl, coat strips with the marinade and add enough water to completely cover the pieces. Refrigerate for as little as 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

3. Preheat oven to 275°. Using tongs, place tuna strips onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Discard remaining marinade liquid. Bake for 15 minutes. 

4. Decrease oven temperature to 170° and bake for 4 hours before turning each piece over and baking an additional 5 hours.

5. Turn oven off and leave in the oven to cool/dry completely before packaging in an airtight bag/container to store.
