Barbecued squid REQUIRES chilli, IMNSHO.  The two just go together too 
well.

Are you barbecuing the banana leaves?  Never done that, but I have 
steamed white fish with ginger, curry paste and coconut milk inside 
banana leaves.  I would think white fish would be better suited to this 
style of thing.

Tuna isn't a steaming fish, I think.  I'm assuming the net effect of 
wrapping in banana leaves and barbecuing is steaming anyway, right?
