Fish

Steak

Bluefin steak is a thick cross-cut or loin portion for grilling—deep red lean and melting fatty belly. It behaves like a meaty fish steak: hot surface, short time, rest briefly. Season simply; finish with acid or herb oil. Conservation-sensitive; buy traced fish; raw service is the luxury use. Doneness is judged by flake and translucency, not beef habits alone.
