Well, we are officially in Texas but lucky for us we had a fantastic Florida vacation back home before our big move! As we always do, we pigged out dined on delicious Florida seafood our whole trip. One of our favorite seafood dishes was Smoked Tuna Dip. 
This trip we had the Smoked Tuna Dip at Bric a Brac and Lulu’s in Destin.
Check out both restaurants. They are amazing!
My husband and Ava could seriously devour a whole bowl of this stuff on their own so I knew I wanted to make it at home!
Our traditional family dinner at Acme Oyster House in Destin.
My Uncle Bill, pie baker and meat cooker extraordinaire, is the one who shared his Smoked Tuna Dip recipe with me and it was a hit with the whole fam -including the kiddos!
Picking up some fresh tuna, shrimp, grouper, and a basket full of other delicacies we just had to have from Joe Patti’s Seafood Market in Pensacola. I make it a point to stop here every time I visit Pensacola {you should too}!

Sweet Stella was fond of the giant lobster and the free kid’s gelato too!
You can smoke your own tuna on the grill or even bake it and add some Liquid Smoke.

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp green onions diced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp garlic diced
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • additional lemon wedges for garnish
  • chopped parsley for garnish
  • diced tomato for garnish

For optional marinade:

  • 2 cloves garlic diced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki or soy sauce

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix until creamy.
  • Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Scoop into a bowl and garnish with diced tomatoes and parsley.
  • Serve with crackers or pita chips for dipping and extra lemon wedges on the side.
  • To smoke you own tuna:
  • Chop tuna steaks into cubes and add to a ziptop bag.
  • Add marinade and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat smoker {we use our charcoal grill with wet wood chips}, cover, and cook over indirect heat until the tuna is flaky and cooked.
  • Remove and cool completely.

Notes

*No smoker? You can also bake in the oven and add some Liquid Smoke for flavor.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
