That I eat fish at all is a severe compromise to my personal set of moral beliefs. Right or not, it's where I draw the line. This means I haven't eaten any other kind of meat (including chicken) for 15 years, even though I loved it so much.

Once established that what I was eating was toro, yes, I really enjoyed it. (But that's like asking an alcoholic who's abstained for 15 years if they liked a drink that tasted exactly like an acceptable wine). I can't compare it to the taste of, say, a Bresse chicken fresh from a rotisserie.

In this case I'm not sure I can use the word delicious. The most satisfying and wonderful meals (especially home cooked ones) often veer off into a special and extremely treasured place close to, or even beyond, 'delicious' but where this word somehoe doesn't apply.


Nevertheless, I suspect in this case, the toro would work best cooked rather than raw. I'm sure the fat in the tuna would have some affect on the Kagoshima beef, and the fat in the beef.
