THE RAW OF ATTRACTION
So, I was sitting at our favorite spot the other day - the one on the terrasse at OCEANOS, - loving my freaky lychee... and there it was – Tall. Raw. and Handsome. Just staring at me. A look I’ll never forget.
Now, I’ve always said ‘no’ to raw fish, you know that. But this wasn’t just any raw fish; It was pristine, vibrant, and oh-so-fresh, It looked like something out of my foodie dreams. When I asked the waiter he assured me with confidence that it was none other than the best, sushi-grade Atlantic yellowfin tuna.
hmmmmm. I admit. It looked tempting. really tempting.
And then, the avocado caught my eye – so creamy and rich, practically begging to be tasted. And the ginger sauce added a spicy, zesty flair, like a cheeky wink from across the room.
And the playful tease of sliced Persian cucumbers, so refreshing and crisp. To top it all off, the golden allure of the crispy fries made the entire dish simply too impossible to ignore.
I seriously don’t remember ordering it. But I must have. I watched myself slide my fork through the layers as each flavor oozed in a burst of freshness.
And then. I tasted it.
The fresh diced tuna was tender and delicate, melting in my mouth, followed by the buttery avocado and the zing of the ginger sauce. The cucumbers and pear added a refreshing crunch that balanced the richness, and the crispy fries provided that final, irresistible crunch.
So yeah! I couldn’t resist –
I surrendered completely to the raw temptation of this towering tartare.
And, do I regret it?
Are you kidding?! It was one of the tastiest afternoons of my life!
The memory is still too fresh to know if I am hooked yet, but!... I can tell you that I am going back tomorrow for more of this sexy, raw tower of tuna temptation. (Taste like this you only want more)
So, the next time you’re at OCEANOS and just happen to lock eyes on this Tall. Raw. Handsome Tower of Spicy Tuna Tartare, don’t even hesitate.
Just go for it.
You’ll be so glad you did.
