Whole Yellowfin Tuna

This  fish lives in open waters and is wild-caught. By far the most common Tuna in Australia, it is found right around the Australian coast, preferring warm temperate and tropical waters, and is caught mainly by drifting longlines off the eastern and western coasts.

To Cook

Average yield is 70-75%. Has a medium flavour, medium oiliness and moist flesh, which quickly becomes dry if overcooked.

The cooked flesh is creamy brown in colour and breaks into large flakes; there are very few bones to worry about. The centre bone of cutlets can be removed and a filling placed in the cavity.

Cut thick steaks into serving-size portions to allow even heat penetration.
