Frozen Ahi Tuna (cryovac) packed. This product is equivalent to fresh grill grade Ahi.
The tuna family includes Blue fin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), Big eye tuna (Thunnus obesus) and Yellow fin tuna (Thunnus albacares). Tuna can get as large as 6 feet and 300 pounds. The average size of tuna is 60 to 100 pounds whole. They are found all over the world, usually in deeper waters. Tuna is more plentiful during the summer, but is available year round. Our wild tuna is primarily caught in boats by long line. The farmed blue fin tuna is caught in nets, transported to open water pens and then fed for almost a year. Tuna is firm red meat with a full flavor when cooked. When eaten raw, it is tender and has a mild flavor. Blue fin tuna is prized at sushi bars but also tastes fantastic grilled. Our fresh tuna loins are considered “grill grade” and are best suited for cooking. If you specifically want to order blue fin or yellow fin tuna, or want to eat it as sushi or sashimi please order the sushi/sashimi grade tuna.
