Or perhaps tuna steaks? Using foccacia for this instead of a traditional roll allows you to slice thick steaks in half to stretch them a little further, and sets up a good bun-to-meat ratio. A smear of wasabi mayo seals the deal. And, for the love of Pete, before you put a hot dog (red snapper or otherwise) on the grill, consider one of the several local sausages available around town, at stores and the farmer’s market.
