What is Yellowfin Tuna?
Ahi tuna, otherwise known as yellowfin tuna, is one of the most common varieties of tuna. While this fish is very similar to bluefin tuna in quality, the yellowfin tuna price is easier on the pocket. The color of yellowfin tuna meat can range from pink to deep red, depending on the size of the fish. Yellowfin tuna can range from three to over 200 pounds with the larger fish being more preferred for its higher fat content and deeper red color.

How to Properly Defrost Frozen Seafood
We recommend that all Frozen Seafood be defrosted by placing product in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours depending upon the density. Never force thaw a product by running it under water (hot or cold as it can cook the product). Not only does this reduce the flavor, but it is also a health hazard.
