Atlantic bluefin tuna are large, powerful fish that travel long distances, arriving in Cornish waters each summer and staying into autumn. This loin comes from fish caught off Cornwall by rod and line.
The meat is deep red, dense and steak-like, with a rich, meaty flavour and more fat than yellowfin. It is cut into thick steaks or cooked as a piece, and people choose it as a special occasion fish that eats more like good beef than white fish.
