Taste Milder than other tunas like bigeye or yellowfin (both called ahi), but with the same appealing beefiness.

Source Pacific Ocean.

Eco factor They're troll- or pole-caught ― methods that leave the ocean floor intact, don't bring in bycatch, and tend to haul in smaller fish, which contain less mercury.

How to choose Look for fresh or frozen troll- or pole-caught steaks or fillets from smaller fish, with a mild aroma and moist, shiny flesh.
