Range & Habitat
Lean, Crunchy, Clean
Among the larger Tuna species, reaching weights of over 400 pounds, the Yellowfin Tuna is a revered ocean predator, feeding on lean fish.
Rich, Buttery
Kampachi are a dusky color with light amber/olive stripes down their sides. Their upper bodies and lower fins tend to be a dark blue-green to brown, with a much lighter underbelly that can appear almost lavender. Average size is around 6lb. Whole fish are perfect for roasting, poaching or steaming. Fillets are excellent raw (sashimi, crudo, ceviche) or a good choice for grilling, pan searing or steaming.
Meaty, Moist, Creamy
The lean, boneless, firm flesh of the Russian Sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) has a delicate, mild flavor and is an excellent source of Omega 3s. It can be grilled, sautéed, baked, barbecued, poached or fried. It stands up to the boldest of preparations and is almost impossible to over-cook. Sturgeon should rest for 24 – 48 hours after harvest. This species of sturgeon produces the coveted Ossetra caviar. Atlantic and Siberian sturgeon also are available on a limited basis.
