About Bigeye tuna

Bigeye tuna is a large ocean-going tuna sold as a food fish. Its flesh ranges from pink to deep red and is firm and meaty, with a rich, savoury flavour. It is commonly sold as steaks, loins or portions, and may be eaten cooked or, where appropriately handled and sold for that use, raw.

Fresh and frozen cuts are familiar forms; canned products are a distinct processed form with different texture and composition. The colour and fat content of the flesh can vary by cut and handling. The name refers to the fish, not to a particular cut, preservation method or preparation.
