About Fish, tuna, fresh, bluefin, cooked, dry heat
The Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) is a huge, powerful, fast-swimming fish that ranks among the largest and most prized of all tunas. It has rich, deep-red flesh with a firm, meaty texture and a buttery flavor, and its fatty belly cut, known as toro, is among the most coveted ingredients in sushi and sashimi. Bluefin tuna is high in quality protein and an excellent source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium.
It is celebrated served raw as sushi and sashimi, lightly seared and left rare in the center, or grilled as steaks, where overcooking quickly dries out the meat. As a large, long-lived predatory fish it can accumulate mercury, so it is best enjoyed in moderation, and many populations are carefully managed, making sustainably sourced tuna the responsible choice. Keep fresh tuna very cold and use it quickly.
