Tuna are large migratory fish belonging to the Scombridae family of the Perciformes Bleeker.

Depending on the species, tuna can grow to 2-3 meters, making them one of the largest fish in the world.

Tuna breathe by swimming, taking seawater into their mouths, and passing it through their gills, so if they stop swimming they will die.

So, tuna are incredible fish that keep swimming without stopping once from the day they are born until the day they die!

There are many different kinds of tuna.

For example, the types of tuna that are familiar to Japanese people include bluefin tuna, southern bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, and albacore tuna.

Tuna can be caught in oceans all over the world, but it seems that Japan is in third place, following Indonesia in first place and Taiwan in second place!

When choosing delicious tuna, first choose one that is a bright red or pink color!

When tuna loses its freshness, it will turn a slightly darker or lighter color.

In addition to the color, it is important to carefully check the degree of transparency and luster!

Also, try to avoid choosing tuna with black or red spots on the flesh. This is called a blood clot, and occurs when the tuna is not properly drained of blood.

When it comes to eating tuna, the royal road is to eat it raw, such as sashimi, but there are many other ways to enjoy it, such as steak or simmered!
