Balinese tuna tataki
During a family trip in Bali, we discovered this Japanese-Balinese creation at a little backpacker hotel on the beach. It was an instant favorite. In the morning when the fishermen returned with their catch, we would each reserve a tataki or two. You can make this with any fresh, fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon, or bonito.
