Fishers snare many splendid tuna in the waters surrounding Prince Edward Island. Unfortunately, the fish are almost never found on PEI dining tables. They are purchased by Japanese buyers and flown immediately to the Tokyo fish market. So, if you are eating first class tuna sashimi or sushi in Tokyo, you are likely eating a PEI product. However, there was happy news yesterday. Julio’s Fish Market in St. Peters called and said they had scored some fresh tuna. BSK picked up some pounds and there was a joyous dinner. HG was a purist. HG’s feast was lightly seared, rare tuna which HG dipped in soy sauce and dotted with wasabi. This was accompanied by room temperature rice vermicelli flavored with sesame oil and soy sauce. The drink was cold white wine. Heaven.
