Sushi from a WHOLE tuna
To be honest there’s not much of a secret: the magic is in the fish. The variety where it’s caught and how it’s processed are just some of the factors that contribute to the final experience. As a result a lot of effort goes into sourcing quality fish and such details separate the good from the best. Take for example that minced slightly mushy mixture that makes up a spicy tuna roll. With a name like tuna scrape it’s not going to win over many diners. But when it’s done right it’s a tasty sushi option.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the food – it is simply the meat that has been scraped off the fish bones. Since whole fish contains more flavor and juiciness this quality also applies to raw fish. Tuna scrapes are rich in fat which gives them a delicious flavor and melt-in-your-mouth consistency. With such a rich flavor tuna scrapes have even drawn comparisons to toro the prized tuna belly. Plus there are benefits to its sustainable nature as consuming them helps minimize food waste. So don’t skip tuna scrape sushi; it is a delicious raw fish that definitely deserves a place in your sushi.
In Japan tuna scrapings are known as negitoro and their uses are diverse. As a delicious and more affordable fish they’re a common topping for donburi — informal rice bowls — as well as gunkanmaki a type of open sushi. Tuna scrapings are also enjoyed as a tartare-like dish on their own perhaps seasoned with soy sauce. Beginning in the 20th century Japanese chefs also began incorporating chopped green onion a deft touch that softens the delicious tuna. And with Tokyo’s status as the most affordable city for Michelin-starred dining you’re bound to find even more creative takes on the product.
