The area around the pectoral fins is considered the tastiest part and is often set-aside for special customers. Some sushi bars grill the skeleton and the bits of meat left on it and serve it as an appetizer or snack. Because there is a kind of tuna called yellowfin, some chefs seem to think that hamachi or yellowtail is also a tuna.
