Jay’s note

Nowadays, fresh tuna is available in some good market in NYC area. I’ve found very fresh tuna loin at “Grand central station market” in Grand Central Station.

This fish market has always fresh ingredients, scallop, prawn, Chilean sea bass, Salmon…

So I decided to make tuna tartare, the most popular tuna dish in New York. Each chef has special tuna recipe I guess. David bouley the star chef chef in NYC, his special way to prepare tartare was “Tuna tartar with champagne jello with caviar”. That was fruity and awesome tuna tartar dish, I’ve ever had.
