Tuna carpaccio - Japanese style
This is a wonderfully simple, almost exotic light meal that fills you with a big smile. Make sure you get really fresh tuna – it needs to be red and almost waxy-looking. You can try using different fish, such as salmon, bream or scallops, just make sure they're all really nice and fresh and smell of nothing but the sea.
