    Cube sushi-grade Seatopia Yellowtail and Scallops: Begin by cubing the kingfish and scallops into equal-sized pieces. The smaller the dice, the more cohesive the tartare will be. If you can make perfect little squares with a very sharp knife the texture will be optimal.

    Finish with Roe & Ponzu: Top the tartare with a heaping spoonful of Seatopia Salmon roe for added pop, color and omega-richness. Finish with a drizzle of citrus ponzu for a zesty kick.

Recipe Note

No-Waste Culinary Hack: This recipe utilizes the sushi-grade trim left from preparing sashimi or crudo. Using the tail ends or sinewy sections ensures every part of the fish is enjoyed.

Textural Tip: Trim with more connective tissue—like tail pieces—benefits from dicing, chopping, or pounding to enhance the eating experience. Tartare and handrolls are perfect ways to repurpose these sections.

Sustainability Highlight: Seatopia’s commitment to microplastic-free, sushi-grade seafood ensures every bite is as clean as it is delicious.
