Tuna Tartare

Tuna tartare is a dish made from raw tuna that has been cut into small pieces before serving. It can be chopped, cut into chunks, or sliced. Tuna served tartare style is similar to tuna sashimi, except that sashimi is more often cut into evenly sized slices or chunks. Tuna Tartare is a dish that always has a little soy and citrus juice to act as a cooking agent and an Asian-infused flavor emerges.
