What is Tuna?

Scientifically, tuna is a pelagic marine fish from the Scombridae family, primarily from the genus Thunnus. Tuna has a unique physiology that distinguishes it from most other fish; they are endothermic animals, meaning they are able to keep their body temperature warmer than the surrounding water temperature. This ability is supported by a blood vessel heat exchange system (rete mirabile), allowing tuna to swim at high speeds and migrate across vast oceans. Commercially consumed species include Thunnus albacares (Yellowfin), Thunnus obesus (Bigeye), and Katsuwonus pelamis (Skipjack).

In food science, tuna meat is known for its very high myoglobin content, an oxygen-binding protein that gives the meat its deep red to pink color (red meat fish). Tuna meat texture and taste vary depending on the species and fat content. Bluefin Tuna has the highest fat content (otoro), while Yellowfin has redder, denser meat with a milder taste, making it a versatile choice for both Steak and Sashimi. Tuna meat quality is very temperature-sensitive; poor post-catch handling can trigger histamine formation which causes itching or allergies when consumed.

Nutritionally, tuna is a complete package of lean protein. Tuna is rich in long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) crucial for heart health, cognitive brain function, and inflammation reduction. Additionally, tuna is one of the best dietary sources for Selenium, a trace mineral acting as a powerful antioxidant to neutralize free radicals. Its Vitamin B12 and Niacin content is also very high, supporting optimal energy metabolism. Read in-depth reviews about tuna health benefits on our tuna blog category.
