Ventral

Ventral fillet of Tuna runs toward the belly—more fat and softer grain. Good for grilling and richer plates. As a ventral section of fillet, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep tuna ventral 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.
