spicy tuna

Heated raw fish

Spicy tuna is a sushi preparation combining raw tuna with chili sauce, sesame oil, and seasonings.

It appears most often in American-style rolls: I'll have a spicy tuna roll.

The mixture is typically made from tuna scraps, making it economical for restaurants.

Spicy tuna has become a gateway sushi for people hesitant about raw fish.
