I wish it would have been complete. I do know what wasabi caviar is (flying fish roe mixed with wasabi but didn't know how it was supposed to be incorporated. It was also missing a recipe for "Spicy Ginger Vinaigrette." All in all it was good and everyone I served it to liked it but it was frustrating not having the whole recipe that was in the title.

The recipe didn't include the wasabi caviar in it. We added wasabi to the tuna mixture to add some heat. All in all the flavor was good, but for the effort it wasn't my favorit tartare recipe. We won't make it again, sorry.
