Fish

Dorsal

Dorsal fillet of Yellowfin is the upper back strip—lean and firm. Preferred for neat slices and raw service on suitable species. As a dorsal section of fillet, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep yellowfin dorsal iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave a rare centre on quality loins for steaks and sashimi). Searing, sashimi, poke, and steaks suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame firm moderate-fat red flesh.
