The only raw fish I’ll eat is ahi tuna. It’s cause my tastebuds aren’t refined to appreciate all those other fishes. Please try out this recipe cause it’s really that good. If not, more for me…although that didn’t really make sense. Sorry. Anyway, I’ll usually make this for a catering gig cause my clients always go crazy for it.
