British Bluefin Tuna: The 'Wagyu of the Sea' | Chef Road Trip

British bluefin tuna, the 'Wagyu of the sea'. Chefs Ricki Weston (The Dining Room at Whatley Manor) and Luke French (Jöro) head to Cornwall for a fishing trip, then return to the restaurant to butcher a separately sourced tuna and show how they use every part in cooking. The Great Tuna Road Trip follows the pair as they join their fish supplier and an experienced crew for catch-and-release bluefin tuna fishing in British waters. There’s plenty of waiting, a few Cornish pasties and a fish that puts them to work. For Ricki and Luke, the trip is a chance to learn more about an ingredient they serve, the people who catch it and how the fishery is monitored. Back in the kitchen, they break down a whole tuna and look beyond the prime cuts. It’s about understanding what they’re working with, wasting less and giving every part the attention it deserves. The tuna caught on the trip was released. A different fish was used for the restaurant butchery.
