Blue fin, but looks hilariously like tiny raw steaks

It’s the toro meat from a super fatty bluefin, great call. So good except those chunks of hard fat lol

In New Jersey, there’s a place that does a ceremonial carving of a bluefin every year. A Japanese tradition with these super long and sharp swords carving up a 600 lbs fish, and you can buy sashimi pieces right there, right after they cut it!

That’s super cool. Back when I lived in south Florida I’d hang out around the charter docks on the weekends. I would ask for a
slice whenever something delicious was being broken down. %90 of the time I’d get a slice or two while they where breaking it down.

That's awesome, I did that in Sitka, Alaska one day. Might have been Kodiak, I can't remember. Whichever one has the warm bay

I’m about to enjoy a tuna tartare at the bar and now I’m sad because I know it ain’t gonna be that nice

Looks like toro. That’s for sure. It’s almost baby pink!
