About The Little Tuna

Tuna is not a little part of Chef Marcus Severs's menu at The Little Tuna. In fact, he's dedicated an entire section to wild-caught ahi tuna, which he cooks in everything from jerk seasoning to creole mustard sauce. He incorporates equally inventive flavors into other seafood, from scallops with a honey-jalapeño kick to bite-sized crab cakes served in spicy lobster bisque. Of course, not all catches require tinkering—top-neck clams and oysters, for instance, emerge au naturel from Marcus's raw bar, where other fish share their dirtiest jokes. When he isn't working with seafood, Marcus turns to steak, stuffing bacon-wrapped beef tips with bleu cheese and expertly searing 12-ounce New York strips.
