Gluten-Free Chicken Fried Tuna Bites

Gluten-Free Chicken Fried Tuna Bites---

Living on the coast, we occasionally have fresh seafood given to us. Our last delicious acquisition was giant bluefin tuna. In a true Southern tradition, we decided to cut this into bites and chicken fry it. The results were delicious.

INGREDIENTS:

6 (6 oz) fresh tuna steaks, cut into bites
1 cup cornmeal (make sure gluten free)
1 (16 oz.) box Gluten-Free Bisquick
1 half gallon buttermilk
1 tsp. celery salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp. Herbs de Provence (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tuna and buttermilk. Let marinade for 20 minutes.

In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour and the cornmeal. Season with the remaining ingredients. Whisk well.

Remove the tuna bites from the buttermilk mixture, dip in the flour mixture. Re coat the bites in the buttermilk and the flour.
Pan fry in a pan with 2 inches of oil on medium to high for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or deep fry at 350 degrees F for 2 to 3 minutes until tuna is cooked thoroughly. Drain and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Keep warm until ready to serve.
