• Remember that raw fish, no matter how fresh, must be blast chilled at -20°C (-4°F) for 24 hours or frozen at -20°C (-4°F) for 96 hours to eliminate parasites such as anisakis.
• You can add other ingredients to the tartare to your liking, such as grated fresh ginger, sesame seeds, or chopped chives.
