Thanks to the proliferation of sushi bars in America, fresh tuna is now available in many fish markets. In addition to the usual nigiri-zushi (compact ovals of vinegared rice draped with slices of fresh fish) and sashimi (sliced fresh fish), Japanese chefs are experimenting with tuna in Continental-style preparations, too. This is a divine-tasting dish that pairs lean tuna with a rich and pungent ginger sauce.
