Yellowfin Tuna - fresh and frozen

To the experienced chef, the beauty of Yellowfin tuna is its versatility … its firm, mild, and lean meat lends itself perfectly to raw dishes such as tuna tartare, seafood salads, sushi and sashimi—as well as thick broiled steaks, and grilled filets. In Hawaii, this popular fish is called “ahi” and is often used in the delicious Hawaiian dish “poke” (click here for a perfect poke recipe, courtesy of chef Marc Matsumoto). Because Yellowfin is less fatty than the revered Bluefin tuna, it demands a lower price. This makes Yellowfin the ideal tuna for the everyday arsenal of a gourmet chef. While we recommend the more luxurious Bluefin Otoro or Chutoro for important dishes, which call for an unbelievable tuna that will mesmerize your guests, we suggest you try Yellowfin for everyday gourmet seafood recipes, as you can safely reach for Yellowfin with the certainty that your dishes will come out beautifully.

Yet not all Yellowfins are created equal: Note that we at Luxe Gourmets offer exclusively Grade #1 Yellowfin, which is the highest grade, (a “luxury sashimi grade” tuna). Grade #1 tunas are rare and in high demand—they are usually only offered in Michelin-starred restaurants—while the lesser grades (which you are apt to find in even the finest sushi bars and fish markets), pale in comparison to the quality of the Grade #1 fish that Luxe Gourmets delivers right to your home.

We at Luxe Gourmets offer both Fresh Yellowfin, and brine-immersed SuperFrozen Yellowfin. Both products are custom cut to order by lb.

Superfrozen Yellowfin Tuna

Frozen naturally, to be enjoyed the day you please, promising perfect freshness as though it were caught only moments before your meal.

Our special “brine-immersion” freezing technique preserves our Yellowfin tuna as fresh as the day it was fished from the ocean. In fact, because of our natural preservation technique, many connoisseurs consider the taste and texture of our SuperFrozen fish to be not only equal, but superior, to that of fish that has never been naturally SuperFrozen. Our quality is always Grade #1. No gases or unnatural techniques are used in our freezing process. And thawing only requires that you run cool water over the package.

Yellowfin Carne Asada

These tacos are a great way to finish off the last of a batch of Yellowfin. With big hunks of juicy tuna, redolent of garlic and cilantro and the bold flavors of warm spices like cumin, coriander and oregano, it's a light yet satisfying summer meal. Since you don't need to marinate tuna for very long, this makes for a great weeknight meal. Because Yellowfin tuna is very lean, it's important not to overcook it as it will end up tough and dry. That's why this recipe works best if the skewers are seared on two sides using a very hot cast iron grill pan or skillet rather than using a conventional grill.
