Premium Tuna Otoro Sashimi Cut
About this item
Otoro is the fatty belly of the tuna and the most prized cut on the fish. Fine marbling runs through flesh that is silky, almost buttery, with a mild ocean flavour and no strong fishiness. Cut into portions that go straight to the plate, it needs nothing more than a sharp knife, a little soy and wasabi. A few seconds on each side in a hot pan is enough if you prefer it seared, though the cut is at its best raw.
