Yellowfin Tuna
Hi everyone. Today’s dish is Yellowfin Tuna. This fish is called “きはだまぐろ” in Japanese. The fish was caught in a boat in the sea near an island called Niijima.The island is located 160 kilometers south of Tokyo. It was three and a half hours each way from a nearby fishing port. It took me about half an hour to catch the tuna, which is very tiring but fun. This tuna is a little different from the one you eat in sushi. Bluefin tuna (くろまぐろ) is used for sushi. The average yellowfin tuna caught around here is about 30 kilograms, while the bluefin tuna was about 100 kilograms. The tuna I caught is 20 kilograms, so it is still small. This fish season is from June to November. Many yellowfin tuna are used in canned sea chicken. It took me two hours to finish cutting the tuna. Today, I will introduce two ways to eat Yellowfin Tuna. The first one is sashimi. Compared to bluefin tuna, the amount of blood is smaller and lighter. So even though I don't eat tuna sushi at all, I eat this tuna sash
