ALBACORE TUNA

Albacore has a light flavor that's less pronounced than other types of fresh tuna. It also has an impressive density that helps make albacore an excellent choice for quality canned tuna products like tuna melts, salads, and sandwiches.

SLIPJACK TUNA

Skipjack tuna is the most abundant fresh tuna found in the world's oceans today. It is also one of the best for fresh consumption due to its high oil and moisture content, which gives it an enjoyable fresh flavor.

BLUEFIN TUNA

With a higher fat content than other fresh tuna, Bluefin offers a rich taste that lends itself well to sushi dishes, as well as many other gourmet recipes calling for fresh tuna.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF TUNA

Similar to salmon, ahi tuna is a tasty source of omega-3 fatty acids - it's also low in fat, making it a low-calorie option for any diet, including Weight Watchers (WW), keto, paleo, and Whole30. Protein-packed and rich in amino acids, tuna is an excellent choice when you're working out. With its high concentration of B vitamins, tuna can improve your energy levels and bone strength.

Ahi tuna steaks are a breeze to cook when you have the world's best tuna. While our #1 Finest ahi tuna is best served rare in poke or in our tuna tartare recipe, our #2+ tuna is both meaty and melt-in-the-mouth and is the best tuna to use in our ahi tuna steak recipe. We prefer serving ahi tuna steak rare, but follow along if you prefer it more well done.

Our ahi tuna steaks recipe is delicious served with seasonal vegetables and rice or soba noodles, but tuna steaks are super versatile so serve with your favorite side dishes. Drizzle with a little soy sauce and sesame oil, or balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs, and this will become your new favorite week night 🌙 fish dish.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 x 8-ounce Ahi Tuna Steaks, patted dry

• olive oil

• salt and pepper

• sesame seeds, optional

DIRECTIONS

1. Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using and press them lightly into the tuna.

2. Heat a skillet, cast iron pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the tuna for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes for rare. If you’d like it cooked more, cook for 3 minutes on each side. It should still be a little pink inside to avoid overcooking.

3. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve whole or sliced against the grain in 1-inch thick slices.

4. If grilling, cook over medium heat and cook for the same amount of time as above for your preferred level of doneness.
