A frozen piece of tuna can generate idea other than a great tuna salad for family meal. In fact, Nathan though about shaving this piece with the Hawaiian shave ice machine that we usually use for sweet shaved ice. Without too many manipulations, we came out with a fast and good result. We have used the tuna snow for the amuse on a couple of nights, but so far have not come up with a dish. That is going to be a project now, amount many others, but we should have something before the end of the summer for sure.

maybe you could slice it on a slicer and serve it liek carpaccio.

From a friend: "What if you could freeze and shave jalapenos, just the meat, no seed, and lightly dust a frozen (dry, in a zipper bag) water cracker, and serve with chilled vodka shots for a summer cooler? The color combo of the tuna and pepper would be fun, and the entirely frozen dish would be entertaining..."
My thoughts: Ceviche, crepes...

I saw this exact technique done by Seiji Yamamoto of restaurant Nihonryori Ryugin 2 years ago at StarChefs in New York.

I immediately thought salad, too. I think you need to put the tuna snow on top of something warm immediately before serving. Perhaps a play on "cooked and raw salad" is in order.
