Pacific Bluefin Tuna Crudo with Seasonal Stonefruit

Pacific Bluefin Tuna is the fattiest of tunas, giving it extraordinarily rich flavor and velvety soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Raw preparations allow those culinary characteristics to shine, and this Summer Stonefruit Crudo is a great example. Because Pacific Bluefin Tuna is a fish that is especially abundant off the San Diego coast in the summertime in San Diego, it makes sense to feature another seasonal summer delight - a ripe peach, nectarine, or plum - alongside the fish. "Crudo" is Italian for "raw," and this simple preparation for local seafood, combined with high quality olive oil and freshly squeezed citrus, is a timeless classic in Italian fishing villages.
