Tuna with Flavorful Salsa

If you enjoy foods with bright colors and bold flavors, then you’ve lucked out with today’s recipe for tuna with orange-pepper salsa. For this delectable dish you will need: 2 peeled and sliced navel oranges, 1 diced red bell pepper, ½ cup diced red onion, ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar, salt and ground pepper, vegetable oil, 4 tuna steaks, and 1 teaspoon ground coriander. To create the salsa, mix the oranges bell pepper, onion, mint and vinegar in a medium size bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Oil your grates and then turn the grill on high. Rub oil, coriander, salt and pepper into the tuna steaks. Cook the steaks until each side is browned on the edges, but still pink in the center. Remove the tuna steaks from the grill, place them on a plate, and top them with salsa. Before you head out to catch some tuna, be sure you’ve maintained your boat with Evinrude outboard oil.

Fish Week Extended

Due to the positive response from last week’s trial “Fish Week” I’ve decided to share another week’s worth of recipes from my own kitchen and from around the web. Let’s kick off the second week with a healthy, filling recipe for tilapia and quinoa with feta and cucumber. This recipe serves four and takes 30 minutes to prepare, including prep.  You will need: 1 cup quinoa, coarse salt and ground black pepper, 2 ½ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 pound boneless, skinless tilapia fillets cut into 8 pieces, ¾ teaspoon paprika, 1 cup diced cucumber, 1/3 cup chopped dill, 1/3 cup crumbled feta, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice.

Bring to a boil the quinoa, 2 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a small sauce pan. Reduce the heat and allow the quinoa to simmer on medium until all the water has evaporated. Once that is complete, transfer the quinoa into a bowl to cool. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high, and then add in the fish fillets that have been seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook each fillet for four minutes, flipping them halfway through. Meanwhile, mix the cucumber, dill, feta, oil, and lemon juice into the quinoa. Once the fish is done cooking, serve the tilapia over the bed of quinoa. Fresh tilapia is always best, so make sure your boat for lake fishing is in shape with the proper boat motor oil.

Steamed Black Bass with Pesto

I’ve decided to conclude Fish Week 2011 with a great recipe for steamed black bass, accompanied by authentic, Sicilian pesto. This recipe requires 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 2 scallions finely chopped, 4 boneless black bass fillets, 1/4 teaspoon of coarse salt, 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon orange zest, ¼ cup white wine, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, ½ cup chopped fresh basil leaves, ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, and ½ cup chopped celery leaves. Before you begin your prep, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Season the black bass fillets with scallions, salt, pepper, oregano, lemon and orange zests. Place the fillets, skin side up, into a large skillet that has been coated in olive oil. Pour the white wine over the fish, top the fish with butter, and place skillet into the oven to bake for about five minutes. Place the fish on a separate plate while you use the leftover juices to make pesto. Over low heat, add in basil, parsley and celery leaves, whisking the concoction until you achieve the desired consistency. Serve the fish with the complementary pesto sauce for a delicious, satisfying meal. Wise fisherman use Yamaha 2M oil in their boats when they set out to catch delicious black bass.

Braised Halibut and Peas

If you’ve ever watched one of Gordon Ramsay’s many cooking shows, you’ll have noticed that halibut is almost always featured. Apparently, halibut is a difficult fish to cook well, especially in the frenzied conditions created by reality television. Here is a fool proof recipe to cook halibut well every time. To start, you will need 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, 12 peeled pearl onions, 4 halibut fillets, sea salt, ground white pepper, 3 pounds of peas, 1 cup of shredded iceberg lettuce, 1 cup of chicken stock (low sodium), and 4 small sprigs of fresh chopped mint. It’s advisable to cook each fillet in its own Dutch oven.

Divide onions evenly among the Dutch ovens and add one tablespoon of water to each. Cook the onions until they’re tender. While the onions are cooking, season the fillets with salt and pepper. Place the halibut fillets into the Dutch ovens and surround the fillets with peas, lettuce, and chicken broth. Top the fillets with butter, cover the dishes, and bring the liquid to a boil. Once it has reached a boil reduce the heat to medium and cook fish for about 5 minutes. Serve the fillets with the chopped mint as a refreshing, aromatic garnish. Whenever I fish for halibut, I make sure my watercraft has plenty of oil TCW-3 amalie.

Preventing Oil Leaks

Outboard motors power watercrafts ranging from small pontoons to large fishing boats. Regardless of size, using the best outboard motor oil is a priority. What do you do then if your motor begins to leak? This can be detrimental to the motor’s performance and to the environment.

To prevent an oil leak, examine the fuel lines for cracks or breaks prior to heading out on the water. Also look over the oil tank for any cracks or holes. In both cases, replacing damaged parts is a must. Finally, check the engine block for corrosion and have trouble spots fixed by a professional.

Yamalube 2W Specs

Yamaha’s Yamalube 2W oil reduces deterioration of two-stroke engine parts. It does so by lubricating the moving components within the engine. This keeps the motor clean and cool.

Yamalube 2W oil further inhibits corrosion and rust from developing inside the engine. The oil further prevents pistons from burning, rings from sticking, and spark plugs from fouling. It should be noted that the Yamalube 2W oil is meant to be used for personal watercraft engines and not for outboard motors or land vehicles.

How 2 Cycle Oil Works

Two-cycle engines have different requirements than four-cycle engines found in cars and lawn tractors. Oil and regular unleaded gasoline is blended together to create an enriched mixture that does more than just fuel an engine. For instance, two-cycle oil lubricates the engine while providing fuel.

When the mixture moves into the crankcase it pushes the piston up, creating a spark. Then, the spark ignites the fuel which sends the piston downwards. Thus, the power behind the two-cycle engine is created. A typical ration of oil to gas is 40 parts gasoline to one part oil or 50 parts gasoline to one part oil. Yamalube 2 cycle oil comes highly recommended.

The Brangelina Yacht

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been reported to have a 280-foot Italian luxury yacht they acquired for $268 million. Built in the shipyard of Civitavecchia (a port town north of Rome), the yacht features two, 300-sqaure-meter apartments as well as two guest suites of 150 meters each.

Built by luxury shipbuilder Privilege Yard SpA, the exterior of the ship features luxurious amenities like a swimming pool, a heliport, speedboats and a submarine. If you had millions of dollars to build your own luxury yacht, what exciting features would it have?

I would certainly use Evinrude XD 100 oil to provide clean and reliable power!

Hull 6154

There have been words of speculation that some unknown Russian tycoon has secretly ordered the construction of the world’s most expensive and privately owned yacht, the Hull 6154. It’s said that this mystery ship is 438 feet long and features seven decks, 15 staterooms, a few Jacuzzis, a gym, two helicopter launch pads and storage space for a submarine.

The estimated cost of this ship is $270 million and it’s allegedly being built by Fincantieri, a world-leading yacht builder based in Genoa. I’m sure when the reality of this mighty ship emerges we will continue to be baffled by its excellence.

There’s no doubt that a ship of such magnitude relies on the clean power of Yamalube 2W oil.

Top 12 Most High-Tech & Luxurious Yachts of the World ~ Senses

Ranking in at number eight on our countdown, is a grand ship designed by Martin Francis. For $240,000 to $250,000 a week you can indulge in the elite luxury of this at-sea paradise. This mighty vessel is equipped with four-wheel drive option, which is a feature not offered on conventional yachts. Wheels? I know you’re thinking that a boat does not have wheels, but this term is merely used to describe its handling capabilities.

Passengers will enjoy basic luxuries of satellite TV and a stereo music system as well as fancier luxuries like the Jacuzzi pool, gym and sauna. With spacious living arrangements suitable for up to 12 guests, it’s hard to imagine what cannot be accomplished on a ship so grand.

I can only imagine that a ship of this magnitude relies on the reliable power of Yamalube 2M oil!
