White tuna or Super White tuna? White tuna is typically bincho maguro or
albacore tuna and is pinkish in color, very soft. Super White tuna is a
bright white white, firm textured fish, most likely oilfish or escolar.

Varies from place to place. A typical spicy tuna consists of maguro, cucumber
or avacado, and a spicy mayo sauce al wrapped in an inside-out roll.
Occasionally I've been served tekka maki with dabs of sriracha sauce on top.
These places do not warrent a return trip. If it doesn't come with a spicy
mayo sauce, it isn't a spicy tuna roll. Spicy sauce varies greatly, but is
usually made with sriracha, mayo (Japanese or not), seseme oil, scallions,
and other spices.
