Learn About Our Ahi Tuna!
Ahi tuna is a delicious and more nutritious alternative to canned tuna varieties especially in drips. Ahi tuna grills up quickly and flakes beautifully for adding to this dip recipe.
Here at Sizzlefish, our line-caught Pacific Yellowfin tuna (Ahi) represents a sustainable, healthy, and delicious choice. Our tuna is rated AAA and treated with filtered smoke to retain the peak freshness and color after it is caught.
Each vacuum-sealed portion will weigh approximately 6-8oz. 1 portion of Sizzlefish sashimi grade tuna is the perfect amount to create two tuna tartare stacks.

Why We Use Greek Yoghurt In This Recipe.
Greek yogurt is a healthy substitute for sour cream, adding probiotics and healthy fat.

Versatility: Greek yogurt can be enjoyed plain, used as a substitute for sour cream or mayonnaise in recipes, or added to smoothies, sauces, and dips for added creaminess and nutrition.

Sriracha sauce is great for adding balanced heat to recipes without overpowering. Sriracha is a type of hot sauce that originated in Thailand and is named after the coastal city of Si Racha. It is made from chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt, and has a spicy and slightly sweet flavor.
