Lay one roll of plastic wrap down on a solid work surface. Next lay your tuna on that piece of plastic wrap. Cover the tuna with another piece of plastic wrap. Start pounding the tuna down with the mallet until the tuna is round in shape and about a 1/8 of an inch in thickness. Then combine the cornmeal, flour, salt and white pepper in a bowl. Dip the oysters in the egg wash then into the cornmeal mixture and fry at 350 degrees just until crispy on the outside. (About 2 minutes) Next place the tuna minus the plastic wrap onto the center of a plate. Next place watercress in the middle of the tuna. Place salsa on top of the watercress, then place oyster on top. Finish with a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and cracked black pepper.
