Very rich in Omega 3 fatty acid; has a medium flavor, medium oiliness and moist flesh, which quickly becomes dry if overcooked. The cooked flesh is creamy brown in color and breaks into large flakes; there are very few bones to worry about. The centre bone of cutlets can be removed and a filling placed in the cavity. Cut thick steaks into serving-size portions to allow even heat penetration. Yellowfin tuna is usually sold as steaks, cutlets or sliced as sashimi.
