Seriously! This is on the "budget" page of recipes? Freaking capers, microgreens & "black lava sea salt" are not budget-friends!

I recently saw a rerun of Alton's Tuna Surprise and couln't wait to try the Ventresca. I love "Toro" sushi and knew I'd love this recipe. Everything from the basic hard boiled egg to the exotic Black Lava Sea Salt and of course the Ventresca (which I could have eaten all on it's own! worked magically!!! The only thing I'll change the next time I eat it is to add a few more butter lettuce leaves.

I recently watched the Tuna, Surprise episode and knew that I wanted to try Ventresca. I found Ortiz Ventresca at Wegmans for $11.99, hemmed, hawed and finally bought a single 4 oz can, and the other things needed to build an undone tuna salad.
I loved it, and now it will be a rare treat, mainly because of the cost of the tuna.
