This recipe is similar to one that I first tasted in Sardinia, says Ben Tish. It's very simple, but relies on using the best-quality fish and ripe tomatoes in season. Try to get thick tuna steaks as they will be easier to cook and allow you to achieve a nice crust on the outside while retaining a lovely pink colour on the inside.

- A note on tuna fishing in Sardinia. The annual Carloforte tuna catch is renowned worldwide and takes place from April through to June. The fishermen use the tuna trap method devised by Arab fishermen in the Middle Ages. This involves using a series of net chambers to catch and haul the fish to the banks. Though considered cruel by some, the technique is more humane than many modern methods, and the catch levels are monitored to ensure stocks are not overfished.
