Tuna Tartare Recipe

This tuna tartare recipe is s stunning cross between Japanese Sashimi and European Steak Tartare. It’s no wonder why the Japanese love Tuna: it actually typifies their whole cuisine, it’s subtle, delicate, yet powerful and simply magnificent food. Some call it the beef of the sea.

When buying tuna, as for all seafood, ensure it’s the freshest you can buy. Don’t buy it because it’s the cheapest, because if it is the cheapest, there must be a reason!

There are many varieties of tuna: bluefin, yellowfin, albacore, skipjack, plus many more. For this recipe I use yellowfin, and because you are going to dice this, you can use the off cuts and tail end, and keep the really meaty center cut for sashimi dish.

The tuna tartare recipe below is one of my favorites: a cross between a Japanese Sashimi and a European Steak Tartare. It’s refreshingly light, delicate and sumptuous. I hope you enjoy it!
