About Fish, tuna, fresh, yellowfin, raw
Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), often sold by its Hawaiian name ahi, is a large, sleek, fast-swimming ocean fish recognized by the long, bright yellow finlets that streak down its body. It is one of the most popular tunas for eating, with firm, deep red flesh, a mild flavor, and a tender, meaty texture that holds beautifully in thick steaks. Yellowfin is an excellent source of lean, high-quality protein and supplies omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, selenium, niacin, and vitamin D, with very little fat.
Its quality and color make it a top choice for raw preparations like sushi, sashimi, and poke, and the steaks are famously seared rare on the outside while staying ruby red within, as well as grilled, blackened, and pan-seared. Because the lean flesh dries out fast, it is best cooked briefly over high heat. Choose steaks with a deep red, translucent shine and a clean sea smell, and store yellowfin tuna well chilled, using it within a day or two.
