Salt and pepper

Peanut oil, for frying
1 (12-ounce) kennabeck potato, sliced thinly on a mandoline

Tuna:
Cut tuna into 1/4-inch dice and mix with oil, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to plate.

Chive oil:
1/2 cup chopped chives
1 cup canola oil

Puree chives and oil in a food processor or blender until well blended. Strain through cheesecloth.
