Just reporting back. They only sell the frozen buri fillets at my Asian supermarket, but they DID have salmon no ara, so I figured 作ってみよう!

うまかった！ I put it in the slow cooker and left it on all day while at work, and the smell of it upon returning was heavenly (I guess the daikon would be cooked more than Peko likes though). The bones had softened a bit from simmering all day, so I only took out the big bines and we ate the rest of them. I added some yuba as well, and it sucked up the dashi very nicely. Delicious.

Oooh, I just made butaniku daikon ni the other day. I think it might be time for buri daikon. すごくおいしそうですね！

Not sure if they sell buri here though…

Hi cakewardrobe,
Don’t be afraid. You can just pull out the eyes before serving.
This can definitely be made with other parts of the fish. The ’steak’ chunks work just fine, as does the kama (collar).
Try it out!!

Hello Momo
Tell us how this recipe goes! I am REALLY interested to see what some of our readers do with these recipes.
You eat ‘live’ tuna heart? That is REALLY hardcore!
What is the recipe like for that one?

I’m not a big fan of heads and eyeballs and such but this dish looks so delicate. I’d try the recipe - maybe with another part

wow… I’m craving for fish now!
I’m definitely going to have to try this recipe! … fish is so expensive lately though!! and yes I probably would do the same and remove the eyes haha!! but I do come from a fishing family- doing the traditional “eating-a-live-tuna-heart” :D!
