Yellowfin Tuna has a medium flavor, meaty undertones, and a light minerally finish. The texture is firm with large flakes, dense, and tender when served raw/rare/medium rare.

Yellowfin tuna is harvested sub-tropically worldwide, but most of our tuna comes out of Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. Global sustainability concerns remain strong, but West Coast and Pacific Islands fisheries management has been relatively successful in implementing sustainable fishing standards. However, international cooperation and management is needed to create long-term sustainability for this species because of its highly migratory behavior.
