Peruvian Tiradito with California Yellowtail

Peruvian Tiradito is a highly photogenic dish - a fusion of Japanese sashimi and Peruvian ceviche, featuring thin slices of fish drizzled in a tangy citrus sauce that adds just the right kick. This Peruvian-Japanese fusion was born out of place-based cultural creativity when Japanese immigrants, who first arrived in Peru in 1899, began adapting local ingredients to recreate the dishes of their homeland.

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.
