tuna belly
Tuna belly, or otoro in Japanese cuisine, is the most prized part of the tuna due to its rich, buttery texture and high-fat content. Found in the lower belly area of the fish, it has a marbled appearance and a melt-in-your-mouth quality, making it a delicacy in sushi and sashimi. Its natural richness means it requires minimal seasoning, allowing the full, luxurious flavour to be enjoyed raw or lightly seared.
