Collar

Collar of Tuna is the fatty band behind the gills, excellent grilled on the bone. Collagen bastes the meat. Serve with salt and citrus; eat near the bone. Keep tuna collar 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.
