Rack

A rack of Tuna keeps bones aligned for roasting presentation. Bone protects flesh. Baste exposed edges so they do not dry. As a rack section of bone, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep tuna rack 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.
