MORSEL OF THE GODS

Or “Hoho-niku” to the Japanese. Whatever term you use, this is a very special cut of tuna: the inner side of the face, located just below the fish’s eyes. It stands out for its distinctive flavour and texture, and is highly sought after by those looking for new culinary experiences. It has a highly gelatinous consistency and is normally grilled, although it is also the perfect ingredient for tuna casseroles, lending its unmistakable character.
