Should you brine tuna steaks?

Since tuna has very little fat, it's important to brine it in a simple salt and sugar solution before hitting the smoker. Without the brine, the tuna would be very dry and it wouldn't taste as good. The brine infuses the meat with flavor while also keeping it juicy and moist as it cooks.
