Frame

Frame of Tuna is the carcass after primary meat removal—spine, ribs, and residual scraps for stock. Roast for colour, then simmer gently for gelatin-rich broth. Strain well; skim fat if a clear soup is wanted. As a frame section of head, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep tuna frame 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.
