Here is the perfect “bite” for May. I love Kampachi! It is a baby tuna, but you can also use hamachi, ahi, albacore, or your favorite sushi grade fish. You are eating it raw so make sure it is high grade and great quality. The fish sauce vinaigrette adds a nice acidic touch – sweet and salty with the fresh baja slaw to add a refreshing touch.
