Yellowfin is often marketed as ahi, from its Hawaiian name ?ahi although the name ?ahi in Hawaiian also refers to the closely related bigeye tuna. The species name, albacares ("white meat") can lead to confusion. The tuna known as albacore in English, is a different species of tuna: Thunnus alalunga. However, yellowfin tuna is officially designated albacore in French, and is referred to as albacora by Portuguese fishermen. This kind is bit more expensive in supermarkets that carry fish. Many eat it raw, and indeed it is often used as a sushi. However, we like it cooked on a grill no more than a minute and a half. As you can see.
