Fresh gulf yellowfin tuna is a favorite among seafood lovers since it is leaner than other tuna options but still maintains a fantastic flavor. Along with being incredibly flavorful, each 1 lb. package of yellowfin that we sell is also packed with protein and plenty of micronutrients. Now, all that’s left to do is choose how you want to prepare it.
Baking: Preheat your oven to 450°F. Season the tuna fillets with salt and pepper or soy sauce. Arrange the fillets on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes for a medium-rare temperature.
Grilling: Preheat your grill to 350°F. Marinate your tuna filets with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Grill the fillets while uncovered for 5 to 6 minutes per side.
Pan-searing: Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Pat your tuna filets with a paper towel to dry the surface. Season the filets with salt and pepper. Place the filets in the pan and sear for 30 seconds to 1 minute without moving them. Flip the filets and sear the other side for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
More flavorful than albacore and leaner than blue fin, fresh gulf yellow fin tuna is one of the most delicious seafood options you can choose. This fish has a unique flavor profile that some describe as a combination of grassy, nutty, and salty. Yellowfin tuna also has an excellent meaty texture that is a lot like swordfish.
Fresh gulf yellow fin tuna is the perfect option for anyone who wants to up their protein intake without consuming a high amount of calories. Yellowfin can also help support a healthy immune system since it contains plenty of zinc, manganese, and vitamin C. The potassium in this fish can also help lower your blood pressure. Along with those health benefits, yellowfin tuna also offers many other nutrients, including thiamin, riboflavin, and many vitamins.
