General Information:

Tuna.  Tuna is the number one species of seafood consumed by Americans.  Of the 13 species of tuna only four are sold fresh:  yellowfin, bluefin, bigeye and albacore.  Fresh tuna has a delicious, full flavor and a meat-like texture similar to swordfish and shark.  Tuna is great to barbecue, bake or broil.  When cooked the bright red color of the meat turns ivory.

Recipes:
