Tuna
If you're planning a meal with tuna, these scrumptious recipes are perfect.
Common names: Albacore, tunny, bonito, ahi, bigeye, bluefin, yellowfin, skipjack.
Common forms: Almost exclusively steaks, although some smaller skipjack may be filleted. Freezes well.
General description: Pale pink (albacore) to deep red (bluefin and yellowfin) meat, the most beeflike of all fish. Almost always sold without the skin, which is incredibly tough. Dark brown flesh is edible but stronger-tasting; those who find it too "fishy" may remove it before or after cooking.
