Around the world this fish is known as the high end Canned Tuna, but not in Hawaii. The Tombo is an integral part of the local diet and is an excellent solution to smaller portioning of loin steaks. Lighter in color than its cousin the Yellowfin, the Tombo sheens a beautiful Candy hue like a Pearl paint job on a classic car. When used in contrast of the deep red Yellowfin in a sashimi platter, Tombo stands on its own as a GIANT little Tuna.
Flavorful, Creamy, Rich
Shad Roe is a springtime delicacy. The Shad run into the channels of Eastern rivers from the Atlantic to spawn. During this "once-a-year" opportunity, the American Shad is caught and filleted for the Roe. Many seafood lovers are drawn to this special occasion. Shad Roe are high in Fat and therefore remain creamy after cooking. They have a delicate flavor that typically transports other ingredients to the palate.
Sweet, Moderate Brine
The Peekytoe is primarily "All Leg Meat". The legs of the Rock Crab have a wonderful complex flavor that can be utilized in endless applications.
