a group of tuna species with iridescent blue skin. Bluefin are some of the ocean's biggest, fastest predators. They live in cold water and can weigh up to 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms).
among the largest tunas, their flesh is dark purple and distinctively rich flavored. It is moderately high in fat, firm textured, flaky and tender (especially when cooked to rare or med-rare). We use only sushi grade from Hawaii.
