Does anyone know the difference between sashimi and tuna tartar?!
I know what Sashimi is, and I know basically what tuna tartar is, but what's the difference? I heard someone talking about tuna tartar on Best Year Ever...
Answers: I just asked this question a little while ago, but didn't get many answers so I thought I'd try again.

I am a former chef and the first gentleman has it right, it made alot like steak tartar, as tuna wheter sushi grade or otherwise is mild in flavour and almost beef like in texture.
Were I used brandy in my meat one, I like mustard and sake in tuna, as for sashimi, it is just served raw generally with ohter types of fish on a sashimi platter, with wasabi like with sushi, pickled ginger and soay or ponzu sauce for dipping the fish in, tuna tartar is serve like steak T, with crisp bread or toast points and garnishes like capers, red onions and parsley.
tuna tartar is cut up little chunks of raw meat with different flavorings added[depends on chef] formed into a shape[sort of like a raw hamburger] most put raw egg in to hold together, sashimi is a wafer thin slice of raw fish[or other sea creature] on top of a little finger of seasoned sushi rice sometimes seasoned with a dab of wasbi[japanease type of horseradish]oops your right it just fresh meat thinly sliced,sorry for the screw up
Both are raw tuna, but sashimi is served in thin slices and tuna tartare is chopped up.
