Carpaccio is a dish of thinly sliced, raw meat or fish, usually made from beef, venison, scallop or fish.
It is important to slice the fish very finely as it will be served raw. Most fresh fish can be used for carpaccio; oily fish such as tuna and salmon or white fish such as sea bass are particularly well suited for serving raw.
When making a fish carpaccio, make sure that the fish is very fresh, and the skin and bones have been removed.
