About

A club sandwich is all about texture and flavour, and ahi tuna is dense and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It loves creamy mayo and crunchy sesame seeds and bacon . . . okay, everything loves bacon, but tuna is no exception! My version introduces some fun Asian flavours into the traditional club and the result is like fireworks in July: an explosion of taste and texture.
