About Yellowfin tuna

Yellowfin tuna is a large oceanic tuna with a streamlined body and long yellow second dorsal and anal fins. Its flesh ranges from pink to deep red when raw and becomes lighter when cooked; flavour is fuller than that of many mild white-fleshed fish.

It is sold fresh or frozen as steaks and loins, and also canned or otherwise preserved. It is grilled, seared, baked, or used in other fish preparations. Cut, freshness, cooking, and preservation method affect colour, texture, and flavour.
