- 2 tablespoons Japanese bread crumbs (panko)
- 1 (2 1/2-ounce) link chorizo, finely chopped
- 1 (7 ounce) ahi tuna fillet
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, sliced

- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 2 ounces butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pan-fried Red Potatoes, recipe follows
- 2 medium-sized red potatoes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces olive oil
Steps for making Ahi Tuna Cadiz
- In a shallow platter, combine the bread crumbs and chorizo pieces, mixing to distribute evenly. Cut the tuna into 2-inch thick slices. Press only 1 side of each tuna fillet into the bread crumb mix. In a saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Sear the breaded side of the fillet. Turn over and sear the other side for 2 minutes (keeping it rare) and reserve. To the pan, add the remaining olive oil and saute the garlic until fragrant. Pour in the vinegar and white wine, and reduce the liquid by half. Whisk in the butter and remove the pan from the heat. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, place the potatoes on the center of a plate, stack the tuna fillet on top and add sauce lightly over and around the tuna.
- In a small saucepot, add the red potatoes and enough water to cover and add a generous amount of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. When the potatoes are tender, strain and allow to cool. Cut the cooled potatoes in half. Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat and then add the potato halves, cut side down. Cook until golden on 1 side, then turn over and cook the other side. Drain onto paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and reserve.

- Fish – Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals that lack limbs with digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish as well as various extinct related groups. Around 99% of living fish species are ray-finned fish, belonging to the class Actinopterygii, with over 95% belonging to the teleost subgrouping.The earliest organisms that can be classified as fish were soft-bodied chordates that first appeared during the Cambrian period. Although they lacked a true spine, they possessed notochords which allowed them to be more agile than their invertebrate counterparts. Fish would continue to evolve through the Paleozoic era, diversifying into a wide variety of forms. Many fish of the Paleozoic developed external armor that protected them from predators. The first fish with jaws appeared in the Silurian period, after which many (such as sharks) became formidable marine predators rather than just the prey of arthropods.Most fish are ectothermic (“cold-blooded”), allowing their body temperatures to vary as ambient temperatures change, though some of the large active swimmers like white shark and tuna can hold a higher core temperature. Fish can acoustically communicate with each other, most often in the context of feeding, aggression or courtship.Fish are abundant in most bodies of water. They can be found in nearly all aquatic environments, from high mountain streams (e.g., char and gudgeon) to the abyssal and even hadal depths of the deepest oceans (e.g., cusk-eels and snailfish), although no species has yet been documented in the deepest 25% of the ocean. With 34,300 described species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates.Fish are an important resource for humans worldwide, especially as food. Commercial and subsistence fishers hunt fish in wild fisheries or farm them in ponds or in cages in the ocean (in aquaculture). They are also caught by recreational fishers, kept as pets, raised by fishkeepers, and exhibited in public aquaria. Fish have had a role in culture through the ages, serving as deities, religious symbols, and as the subjects of art, books and movies.Tetrapods emerged within lobe-finned fishes, so cladistically they are fish as well. However, traditionally fish are rendered paraphyletic by excluding the tetrapods (i.e., the amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals which all descended from within the same ancestry). Because in this manner the term “fish” is defined negatively as a paraphyletic group, it is not considered a formal taxonomic grouping in systematic biology, unless it is used in the cladistic sense, including tetrapods. The traditional term pisces (also ichthyes) is considered a typological, but not a phylogenetic classification.
