Skipjack tuna sashimi with salted onions and ponzu sauce

It would have been a crime to spend as much time on board fishing as we did, and not serve at least some of our haul sashimi-style. What matters is not so much the type of fish you use, as how fresh it is. So let your nose be your guide. The ponzu sauce is a great little dipping number for fresh or grilled seafood.

  • ½ thumb ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1 spring onion, green part only, thinly sliced

  • 400 g fresh skipjack tuna or stripey trumpeter
  • finely grated fresh wasabi, or prepared wasabi, to serve
Standing time 10 minutes

Instructions

Place the onion in a small bowl, sprinkle generously with salt, then stand for 10 minutes. Rinse the onion under cold running water, then squeeze out the moisture and pat dry on paper towel.

Meanwhile, place the garlic, ginger, lemon juice, spring onion, soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Thinly slice the fish against the grain into 3-4 mm thick slices and arrange them on your platter. Scatter the tuna with the salted onion, then spoon the ponzu sauce over as evenly as possible. Serve immediately with wasabi.
