When I get my hands on some really good fish keeping it away from the heat is generally where my heads at.
Tartare is super quick to throw together and it’s fairly versatile. You can toss it on crostini or grilled bread as a perfect little bite, with a salad for an appetiser, or (in my case) go full on fat kid and serve it with a heaping bowl of fries and horseradish cream to make a meal out of it.
