Bone

Bones of Tuna simmer into fumet—gentle heat, not a rolling boil. Light roast adds colour. Strain carefully for a clean stock. Keep tuna bone iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave a rare centre on quality loins for steaks and sashimi). Sashimi, searing, canning, and poke suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame dense steak-like muscle.
