Asian Tuna Tartare Appetizers on Shrimp Crackers

This Asian tuna tartare is a great choice for an appetizer or a main meal.

I chose ahi tuna for the recipe which was finely chopped.

Add tobiko fish eggs to your tartare for the bright color and texture to your bites. As you make your tartare recipe and season, do taste it often as you build your flavor to adapt to your own taste between the acid, heat level and seasonings.
