Collar

Head collar is the collar section left attached when the head is separated—fatty, cartilaginous, and ideal for hard grilling. It overlaps the standalone collar cut; naming reflects whether it was sold with the head or as its own piece. Char over high heat; serve with ponzu or lemon. Guests eat with fingers and a napkin. One of the best yields from a tuna head.
