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.

Atlantic Sailfish

Firm, mildly flavored flesh similar to marlin; primarily a catch-and-release sport fish. Edible when smoked or grilled but rarely targeted for food; sport anglers typically release it.

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.

Atlantic Sailfish

The sailfish is the fastest fish in the ocean, reaching speeds up to 110 km/h. Its enormous dorsal fin, or 'sail,' can be raised to herd baitfish. When hooked, it performs spectacular tail-walking displays across the water surface.
