bluefin tuna. Go for yellowfin

fishmonger know that you will be
serving it as tartare so he or she
gives you a top-quality piece. Dry
wasabi powder can be found in
gourmet groceries and Asian
markets, or online. If you are
having a hard time finding it,
substitute prepared wasabi and omit
the water. Chef Tourondel uses
mustard oil in this recipe, but it
can be hard to find, so we used dry
mustard powder in its place. This
recipe was featured in our 2007
no-cook story.
