Smoked tuna steak has a rich history, with origins in ancient fishing communities. This dish gained popularity in coastal regions, where fresh tuna was abundant. Chefs like Nobu Matsuhisa and Jean-Georges Vongerichten have elevated smoked tuna steak to gourmet status, infusing it with Asian and French influences. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in renowned seafood restaurants in coastal cities like Tokyo, New York, and Sydney.
