Sushi grade albacore (also known as Tombo Tuna) is a seafood delicacy that is often overlooked in favor of its more popular cousin, ahi tuna. However, albacore tuna has a uniquely mild flavor, tender texture, and a high fat content that makes it perfect for searing and creating a crispy crust. When sourced from a reputable supplier like Four Star Seafood, you can trust that your albacore is fresh and sustainably caught.

In this recipe, we'll show you how to prepare a delicious seared rare sushi grade albacore with a crispy sesame seed crust that will showcase the natural flavors of this exceptional fish.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sushi grade albacore tuna
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup black sesame seeds
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Rinse the sushi grade albacore tuna under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

2. Mix together the sesame seeds, sea salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl.

3. Dip the albacore tuna into the sesame seed mixture, coating it evenly on all sides.

4. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat.

5. Once the oil is hot, add the albacore tuna to the skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the sesame seed crust is golden brown and crispy.

6. Remove the albacore tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.

7. Using a sharp knife, slice the albacore tuna into thin pieces and serve immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

Enjoy your delicious seared rare sushi grade albacore with a crispy crust!
