The Bigtooth Corvina resemble Redfish, cut out like Grouper, and taste like Snapper - for a fraction of the cost. This is a large flake, moist, and sweet food fish that strongly represents the bounty of the pristine Southern Atlantic. The similarities in the plate presentation between Bigtooth Corvina and other Florida fine dining species are uncanny. If you are looking for a great species that makes a statement while running a great food cost, look to Bigtooth Corvina.

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.

The Red Snapper is member of the Lutjanidea or Snapper Family, which are known in English as Snappers, and in Mexico as Pargo and Huachinango. A highly-prized game fish, the Red Snapper is distinguished by an overall bright red or sometimes a dark pink color, predominant on the head, back, and all fins, which gradually turns into white with a silvery sheen on the lower part of the body. It has a relatively "smooth" and streamlined appearance, as compared to most other Snappers.
