Maguro (Tuna) Collars in LA?

[SecretAsianMan]

I just returned from a food-filled trip to Tokyo where I had on two different occasions the most amazing tuna collar dishes. They were truly amazing.

If you can read Japanese, here's a great recipe:

Its a recipe I want to make.

However, I cannot ever recall seeing tuna collars at fish markets in Los Angeles.

Does anyone know of a source?

Thanks,

Any ideas for where to find restaurants which prepare tuna collar? I've heard the collar is an intensely meaty, flavorful part of the fish (and is extremely cheap as well) and I'd love to try some.

Broiled yellowtail collar is often found on izakaya menus. I've had it at Izayoi in Little Tokyo. Honda-Ya probably has it as well. I haven't seen maguro collar (what the OP was asking about).

Seafood City in Glendale has halibut collars. Maybe you could ask about tuna?

Hi all, please keep this on topic by recommending fish markets in the L.A. area that carry tuna collars. We split a tangential discussion about tuna collars to the General Food Topics board: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/683839

Collars are available daily at Marukai, Mitsuwa, Nijiya, or any other respectable Japanese grocery store in L.A. Addresses for those above can be found at their namesake websites.

Hi Joe,

I've seen salmon and yellowtail collars but rarely maguro.

Have you seen maguro?

Thanks,

Check with Fish King in Glendale, they might be able to help and not rape you on the price.
