In the sacred pantheon of luxury fish, Bigeye tuna reigns as the second most important deity (only the Bluefin tuna has more glory).

Two species of tuna to be called “ahi” (Yellowfin is ) is the single most popular species of tuna. Hawaiians call Bigeye “ahi”.

Many tuna connoisseurs consider Bigeye, with its deliciously mild flavor, as the choice tuna for cooked recipes—such as hot steaks seared on each side, left raw (or “bleu”) in the middle, or else broiled and cooked through. Yet because it has a fair amount of excellent tuna fat, it also tastes wonderful when eaten raw as sashimi or sushi.

Bigeye Tuna Albondigas

These Spanish-style tuna "meatballs" are an addictive canapé when served with picks but can also make for a delightful tapa served with a loaf of crusty bread. By hand-chopping the Bigeye tuna, it retains some of its texture while coming together with the other ingredients to form moist, tender albondigas that are redolent of garlic and smoky pimentón.
