     1/2  c             Vinegar
     1/2  c             Water
  10      ml            Garlic -- crushed or minced
     1/2  ts            MSG
   1 1/2  lb            Fresh tuna (Aku in Hawaii)
   1      ts            Salt
     1/2  ts            Pepper
     1/2  c             Oil
                        Flour (in shaker)

Mix together, vinegar, water, garlic, and MSG. Pour over fish slices,
and let stand for 1 hour. Spoon marinade over fish occasionally.
Remove fish from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Heat oil in
frying pan. Sprinkle filets with salt, pepper and flour. Cook in oil
until lightly brown.

Serve with Sour Dough French bread. Use stale bread as fresh bread
will be soggy. Pour the remaining oil from fry pan. Add the left over
marinade and bring to a boil. Dip pieces of bread in marinade.
