1lb Ahi Tuna

TASTE & FLAVOR: Our Ahi is both big eye and yellowfin tuna. It has a medium-mild flavor with very firm texture and a large flake. Ahi Tuna is more flavorful than albacore and less fatty than bluefin. The medium fat content makes Ahi Tuna an all around crowd pleaser. 

PREPARATION: Our Ahi Tuna is Fresh and not graded by a sushi chef. Most people eat it as sushi, sashimi, poke or quickly seared on the grill. Before you start cooking make sure to clean off the fish by pating dry, and remove the bloodline and skin with a sharp knife. Please be aware of the risk you assume by eating raw or undercooked seafood, If you choose to eat that way, shave off the air exposed meat before preparing and hold up to light to make sure meat is clear, if you see anything inside the fish cut that piece out and the rest is ready to eat. We do not recommend eating fish raw unless you know how to prepare it properly.

FISHING METHOD: Longline

CAUGHT OUT OF: San Diego, CA 

BOAT: F/V  Kaylee H

FISHING SEASON: Year Round

HOW IT COMES: To ensure travel from dock to doorstep we keep the skin on to preserve texture and integrity and because freshness is everything, we leave the bloodline visible—a natural marker of quality that speaks for itself. Your fish will arrive in a protective bag in one or two loins depending on amount ordered—though we recommend 2lbs for a quality cut. Please note that all weights are approximate; filleting is a craft, not a formula, so your portion may come in slightly above or below the target. If it’s under, just reach out—we’re happy to make it right.

STORING: If you choose to store your fish in the refrigerator we suggest consuming it within 3 days of delivery. If you do not plan on eating the fish within 3 days we suggest freezing it immediately after delivery to ensure freshness. Before freezing we suggest removing the fish from the bag and patting dry Then place it in a vacuum sealed bag or double saran wrapped and place in ziploc before freezing. To defrost run cool (not hot) water over the bag for 5-10 minutes or Defrosting in the refrigerator.
