October is a gorgeous month in Maryland — prime time to do a little grilling and dine alfresco. At Bushmill Tavern in Abingdon, chef Mark Littleton regularly grills burgers and steaks, but occasionally he also likes to add fish to the mix.

Littleton, who gained an enthusiastic following during his years cooking in Baltimore restaurants, including Annabel Lee Tavern and Adam's Eve Gastropub, says autumn is the perfect time to whip up crunchy, flavorful tacos made with spicy, jerk-seasoned ahi tuna steaks and tangy-sweet grilled pineapple salsa. The combination is hearty, bright and fun — perfect for the sunny days of fall.
