Need a brine recipe for Yellowfin - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've heard of just leaving the brined tuna out on a rack under a fan for about an hr while it forms the pellicle. Is it better to leave out at room temp for 24 hrs? If so, u just gotta keep the flies off right?

Forgot to add my marinade. I know this is not a brine but this is a good marinade to use if you like or are interested in that sort of thing. I compared it with just brined tuna on my last run and both were amazing but this seemed to leave some extra moisture in the meat...

4 tblspns soy sauce
1 tblspn sesame oil (better on the small side of a tbslpn or it can be overpowering)
2 large minced garlic cloves
1 tblspn white sugar
Marinade 30 min or couple hours. Also amazing on flank steaks and chicken in which case I marinade over night.
