About Bluefin tuna

Bluefin tuna refers to large tuna species sold as a food fish, commonly in steaks, loins or sushi-grade cuts. The flesh ranges from deep red to paler, fattier sections; texture is firm and flavour is rich and meaty, with substantial variation by cut.

It is eaten raw where appropriately handled, or cooked by grilling, searing and other methods. Fresh, frozen and canned products are distinct forms, and different cuts have differing fat content. The name covers more than one bluefin species, so species and cut can matter in product comparisons.
