Tuna tartare

The story of Tuna tartare

Tuna tartare is a modern dish, but raw fish has a history of its own in Naples. According to the city’s long-established fishmongers, eating raw fish and shellfish was normal in a city where fish reached the table a few hours after it was caught: the Mattiucci fishmonger’s, for example, started out in 1890 as a raw-fish stall on Via Caracciolo.
