bluefin
Sashimi-grade swimmer
Bluefin is a large species of tuna prized for its rich, fatty flesh.
Bluefin tuna are among the largest and fastest fish in the ocean, and their meat commands premium prices in sushi markets: A single bluefin sold for three million dollars at the Tokyo auction.
Overfishing has made them increasingly scarce.
