This is a simple recipe that lets the fish be the star. That is why it is so important that you use a quality sashimi-grade tuna. Don’t be afraid of frozen ahi. Unless you are buying tuna that has just been caught, it is almost always previously frozen. The color of the tuna is a big indicator of the quality, it should be a rich pink or red color and should be shiny and almost translucent.
