TUNA TYPES
The Japanese typically rate tuna based on the fat content and the overall size. The higher-fat content varieties and species are considered the most flavorful and tender. You can specifically look for the troll-, pole-, or rod-and-reel- caught fish.
Big eye (ahi). Deep ruby red flesh and high fat content. Availability can be rare
Yellowfin (ahi). Much like big eye, but more mild in flavor and slightly leaner and firmer. More commonly available.
Albacore (tombo). Most Lean and more affordable. Usually not served raw.
