Blackfin Tuna Sashimi
This is a recipe that is delicious as it is simple to make. It utilizes fresh Blackfin Tuna, homemade Ponzu Sauce, and a little kick from a Jalapeño Pepper to bring it all together. This is a variation of one of my favorite appetizers to order when I go out for sushi: Hamachi Jalapeño.

This recipe is great because it is so simple to make and can be served as an appetizer for gatherings. You can double, triple, or even quadruple the amount of Tuna you use and you should still have plenty of sauce, and probably Jalapeño, too! You can also make this sauce with other citrus fruits, I chose to use oranges because they are local to where I live in Florida.
How I Got This Blackfin Tuna
I made this recipe from the same Blackfin Tuna I used in my Blackfin Tuna Poke recipe. I had originally gone out spearfishing on my kayak and ended up shooting a Yellow Jack, then my buddy showed up on his Jet Ski and I paddled out a little deeper to do some jigging for Tuna.

I was definitely a little rusty because it had been awhile since I had done any jigging, but as soon as I got that first hit, the adrenaline starting pumping. I didn’t have a gaff or really anything fishing related on my kayak, other than the rod and reel my buddy let me borrow. When I got the fish close to the kayak, I had to just flip him over the side. Luckily he was the perfect size to do that.
I hope you enjoy this Blackfin Tuna Sashimi recipe:




So fresh and delicious!
