Tuna Collar Cooking Steps

If you want to eat the Tuna Collar immediately on the day you receive them, place them on a dish and leave them in room temperature to defrost. If not, leave them in your fridge in our original Shiki packaging overnight and they will be ready to be cooked.

Seasoning

Place your Tuna collar on a baking tray and dry it thoroughly. When they are dried, season both sides with salt, pepper and if you have some lemon juice. Leave it to rest for 15-30minutes.

After resting, brush some Sake (Or cooking sake) on top of your collar for that extra burst of Umami.

Finally, re-salt the collar lightly, make sure to salt the fins to stop it from burning in the oven

Cook your Tuna Collar well

Oil your tray and pre-heat your oven. We recommend anywhere from (200-220 Degrees Celsius).

Start baking the collar flesh side up first for about 6-7 minutes to cook the collar, then at this point of time, take the collar out of the oven and flip it skin side up for another 2-3 minutes. The skin should char nicely and turn crispy.

Finish

Finnish off your perfectly cooked Tuna collar with a squeeze of lemon and a side of grated radish and ponzu sauce.
