Cuisine & Edibility

Atlantic Bluefin Tuna

The pinnacle of raw fish dining — intensely rich, fatty tuna-o-toro with deep red color and buttery, umami-forward flavor. Commands the highest prices globally in Japanese sushi markets.

Common Carp

Dense, moderately fatty flesh with an earthy flavor; improves greatly when sourced from clean, cold water. Central European staple — traditionally braised, fried, or prepared as gefilte fish.
