FRESH FISH NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Yellowfin tuna get their name from their long, bright yellow fins. The largest Yellowfins can be over 100 pounds and have a very high fat content which makes them very desirable.

Our Ahi is a excellent choice for sustainability as it is troll caught which is the preferred method - it has the fewer side effects for the environment.

The highest grade Yellowfin Tuna has a higher fat content, develops a deeper red color that commands a higher price and is great for sashimi and other raw preparations. Tuna is graded for fat content and color as well as freshness. Only the most red and highest fat content fish are used for sashimi and sushi.

Ahi is usually available year-round with its greatest availability between the months of April and September. The rich, red flesh of the Yellowfin cooks to a wonderful white "steak". This tuna is great for searing, broiling, baking and sauteing.

Since Ahi grows so big, 10 pounds of Ahi Tuna will usually come in 1 or 2 fillets.
