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.

Red Lionfish

Sweet, buttery white flesh once spines are safely removed; increasingly promoted as a sustainable food source in Atlantic waters where it is an invasive species.

Species Overview

Atlantic Bluefin Tuna

The Atlantic bluefin tuna is one of the largest bony fish, capable of crossing the Atlantic in under 60 days. A single specimen has sold for over $3 million at Tokyo's fish market. It can maintain a body temperature above the surrounding water.

Red Lionfish

The red lionfish is a venomous coral reef fish native to the Indo-Pacific. Its ornate, striped body and fan-like pectoral fins make it popular in aquariums, but it has become a destructive invasive species in the western Atlantic and Caribbean.
