Tuna Tar tare

It is a Sicilian-style dish that’s great on a hot day. Only use top quality fish, as you will be eating it raw.

1 lb. tuna or yellowtail
2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. tiny capers
1 tsp. finely chopped shallot
1 tsp. finely chopped Sicilian green olives
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes, or 1 small chili pepper, chopped fine
1 tsp. pine nuts, toasted and chopped
1 lemon, quartered
2 tsp. fennel fronds, for garnish

Procedure

Chop the tuna into very small dice, about 1/4 inch. Use a very sharp knife.
Mix with the olive oil, capers, shallot, chili pepper, pine nuts and olives, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with the fennel fronds and serve with a lemon wedge.
This dish is especially good served in a hollowed out sweet pepper or round cucumber. Serve with a dry rose.

Fish Crudo

Crudo is the Italian version of sashimi. Raw fish at the peak of freshness, dressed simply with olive oil and lemon.

1/2 pound of sushi-grade fish, such as sea bass, tuna or halibut
1 quartered lemon (Meyer lemon if possible)
1/4 cup of your finest olive oil
Fleur de Sel, or another top-quality sea salt
Basil or mint leaves, for garnish

Procedure

Cut across the grain of the meat, into squares or rounds of at least two inches across.
You may need to buy more fish than you need to get the presentation right.
Use the excess in either a tartare or a stir-fry.

Wrap the fish tightly in plastic and put it in the freezer for an hour or more.
After an hour, check to see if it is hard — but not solid.
When it reaches that state, take it out and get your sharpest knife.

Slice the fish across the grain as thin as you can and cut of about 1/8 inch. Do not pound it to make it flatter. That’s carpaccio, not crudo.
Coat the slices in the olive oil and set in a sealed container in the fridge over a bed of ice for at least 20 minutes or an hour.

To serve, take the fish out of the fridge. Pour some olive oil (which you did not use in the marinade) on the plate and arrange the slices over it. Each guest should get a quarter of the lemon and a tiny bowl of the salt — or you can salt the fish right before service.
