Tuna

[poliphilo]

Why- when tinned tuna is so very, very fishy- does fresh tuna taste of nothing?

I was visiting Honfleur once and the tuna fleet was in- and these huge, fat , blue-black fishes- frozen solid-  were lying all over the dock  like unexploded bombs.

I love raw tuna, but even more than raw tuna I love raw yellowtail. Or bluefish.

The flavor isn't strong, and frankly, I think of it as being completely unrelated to canned tuna.

I'm not sure we can get yellow/blue tail.

Ailz and I eat quite a lot of fresh salmon

But there's a difference between fresh salmon and raw salmon. Raw salmon doesn't have as nearly as fishy a taste as cooked salmon, no matter how fresh.
