Here we have another Sicilian grilled fresh tuna recipe. In the tradition of older Italian recipes it doesn't give quantities, but rather outlines a procedure. So it will serve as many as you buy fish for. Figure one fish steak per person.

• Olive oil
  
• Garlic
  
• Fresh oregano
  
• Salt and pepper to taste

• Prep Time: 60 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes

• Total Time: 85 minutes

Preparation

Buy your fish cut into portion-sized steaks or cut it up when you get home. Make a marinade with olive oil, minced garlic (1-2 cloves), salt, pepper, and abundant fresh oregano, minced. Marinate the fish for about an hour, and grill the pieces, turning them repeatedly and basting them with the marinade. When they're done serve them with the remaining marinade on the side.

The wine? A flavorful white, perhaps a Ciró.
