I had toro (tuna cheek/belly) for the first time a few weeks ago and it was the best tuna I ever had. I'm a tightwad, but I splurged that day and spent 10 bux for two pieces of fish! (and it was worth every penny) I went to the sushi bar by myself after work, which saves a lot so I can spoil myself. Toro is fatty but still firm in texture (if fresh like it should be) and it tasted like it was dipped in a rich butter sauce only it wasn't. The color (light pink) was also appealing. For those who eat raw tuna and like it, you should splurge if you ever have the chance to try it at least once in your life.
