I had an albacore tuna loin caught up north and tucked away in the freezer that I realised needed to be eaten soon. It wasn't easy to persuade Doug to eat (nearly) raw fish but after I briefly seared the wasabi-soy-honey marinated loin, rolled it in sesame seeds and served it with shaved cucumber, cherry tomatoes and edible chrysanthemum (shunjiku) fresh from the garden, he seemed to be converted. The flavour of the tuna was genuinely amazing - soft and luscious and not at all fishy. I try to keep my consumption of these big deep-sea fishes on the low side, but I will be back to Mavins for more of this when the albacore season starts again.
