"Most of the time it arrives prepackaged and pre-seasoned, soaked in the sweet and sticky sauce, which masks its real flavor. "It's one of the most generic fish you can buy," says Také Asazu, chef/owner, Komé in Austin. It's an early food memory, to be sure, but it's one that I wouldn't mind forgetting." I ate a lot of salmon growing up as kid because that's what my family's assumption of good fish was. "It has become both an obligatory and nonsensical menu item.
"Salmon is a very non-threatening choice-a go-to for people who really don't know what they want to eat when presented with other options," says Matt Foreman, head sushi chef at Uchi Dallas. "The meat is in turn very tough, and hard to cook properly." "The liver is quite tasty, but otherwise the only edible part is the tail, which is all muscle," says Tyson Cole, executive chef and founder of Uchi.
"It's something we shouldn't be eating in the first place. William Selin, corporate executive chef, Masu Sushi & Robata, believes there are also ethical reasons to avoid bluefin tuna. "It comes with the tuna anyway-why are people paying so much money for it?" Otoro certainly has its place, but it's quite overrated." Plus, farm-raised tuna belly can be overpriced, says Billy Beach, chef/owner at Billy Beach Sushi & Bar. "Go for the shoulder, or better yet, the shoulder of bigeye.” John Daley, chef/owner, Kintsugi, agrees."Such a fatty cut can lack that great tuna flavor, and often the texture provides little resistance or presence. “The belly is way too oily on the palate," says Tom Nozawa, chef/co-head of operations at Sugarfish. The texture and less nuanced flavor reminds Japanese chefs unfavorably of old tuna." Albacore lives in warmer currents than tuna, and as a result it has a milder taste and softer texture throughout the whole body. "It is not abundant in Japanese waters and is not traditionally served there. These facts, in addition to their incredible taste, make them one of the most expensive fishes in the only few places that have them on the menu."I am surprised by the popularity of albacore-'bincho'-in the United States," says Hiroyuki Naruke, executive chef, Q Sushi. Only on rare occasions, they are found traveling in small groups. They can even be more expensive than a tuna steak.Īdditionally, they are solitary fish, meaning that fishermen can’t catch them in mass quantities. Wahoo is one of the most expensive fishes because their speed makes them difficult to catch. On the contrary, tuna have a lot more stamina, allowing them to fight hard when being caught. In fact, some consider them the fastest swimming fish in the sea. They are faster than tuna but can’t swim large distances, which makes them easier to catch after their run. Besides, each one has a particular way to fight fishermen.
One of the main differences between the two is that wahoo can regulate their body temperature while tunas can. Is Wahoo Fish A Tuna?īoth tuna and wahoo are members of the scombrid family however, they are different species. However, they have a really delicious taste that makes them one of the most coveted species by a large number of cuisines around the world. Therefore, they are more common in sports fishing than commercial fishing. They are a quick and fast fish, even though some specimens grow up to 9 feet. Their white and crispy meat has been labeled as one of the best eating fish and is also served in restaurants fried, steamed, sauteed, or raw. Similar to other members of the scombrid family such as mackerel and tuna, the Wahoo is usually better grilled or baked. Fully grown fish can get between 4-6 feet long, and also can weigh around 100 pounds. At this stage, the fish’s length is between 2.8 and 3.3 feet. They have a short life span of around nine years and reach sexual maturity when they are about a year old. Wahoo is one of the most fast-growing fish in the sea, being able to gain over 20 pounds of weight in less than a year. During the summer, they might be found migrating into temperate areas. Along with Hawaii, Bermuda and other parts of the Caribbean are some of the typically frequented waters by this species of fish. Hawaiians give wahoo the name of ‘Ono’, which means ‘ delicious‘ or ‘ good to eat‘ in their language. These fish have a white opaque or grey flesh of a firm and flaky texture and a mild sweet, delicate taste. They can be found in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans. The wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) is a scombrid fish that lives in both tropical and subtropical waters worldwide.
