A few short years ago I wouldn’t even try this, now I crave it. Whenever we go to Surf Restaurant in Nashua, NH or even their Portsmouth, NH location; I also think they opened one up in MA somewhere, but not sure where. I always get the Tuna Poke with out the wakame salad, I don’t really enjoy the seaweed part of their dish, it gets stuck in my teeth lol; but the rest is devine.
I fried up the wontons in a little oil after cutting them into triangles. We chose mango, avocado, pickled ginger and I didn’t have scallions so I added chives. I think it could be even better with scallions.
Surf serves theirs with Shrimp Chips, which I have never made but I am interested in checking them out a little more closely. Just talking about these and seeing the photos, I think we will be making a trip to Nashua some time this week. Who knows maybe even today.
I shared this recipe several years ago and have made it numerous times over the years. I am going to have to locate a local source for sushi grade tuna so I can make it again. I actually like making it as an appetizer when we have people over. I have even brought it to friends homes when asked to bring an app. But need to make sure no one there dislikes raw tuna.
