Bluefin Tuna

Because of strict regulations in place, it is not often that we see Bluefin Tuna in house so now is the time to take advantage! Bluefin Tuna are the largest of the commercially harvested tuna species and occupy temperate and tropical waters worldwide. Because of the high fat content, bluefin is very distinct in flavor and prized as sashimi or sushi.

Bigeye Tuna

Also known as Ahi, Bigeye Tuna are caught in the deep, cool waters resulting in a higher fat content compared to the Yellowfin Tuna. Bluefin are firm and meaty with large flakes and are rich, yet mild in flavor. Bigeye is favored by most in sashimi preparations, but it can also be grilled, broiled or sauteed.
