We love The Big Ketch for great seafood without having to leave the heart of Buckhead. One of our favorites is the tuna taco. Will they share the recipe? Antoinette Barclay, Atlanta

We received this recipe from Luis Moreno, chef de cuisine for The Big Ketch. The restaurant makes this with tuna saku blocks, a restaurant product of trimmed tuna cut into uniform blocks, available for use in sushi and for pan-searing. The rectangular shape makes for easy slicing. They season the fish with tuna seasoning from Atlanta-based Sidney’s Spices and recommend home cooks use salt and pepper.

In our photo, the tacos are shown with the restaurant’s grilled corn side dish.

Our base recipe is for one serving, but you’ll have enough Cilantro Kale Slaw and Creamy Soy Sauce to make four servings.
