The BEST tuna tartare recipe. Have made it at least 30+ times and still love it. In addition to making tuna tartare with this recipe, have used it to make fish taco's too with cooked white fish (cod, scrod, tilapia. Follow the recipe but instead of raw tuna, use any cooked fish (broil the fish with kosher salt & pepper, then toss it in the dressing and add the avocado. Put it on a taco shell (hard or soft and add shredded cabbage, cinlanto and diced tomatoes. Delish.

This is my favorite appetizer. I love the lime and tuna and avocado mixture. Expensive, but well worth it!
