Whole

Whole Tuna is gutted fish cooked on the bone—roast, steam, or fry. Scale and clean the cavity; score thick areas for even heat. Keep tuna whole iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave a rare centre on quality loins for steaks and sashimi). Sashimi, searing, canning, and poke suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame dense steak-like muscle.

History

Coastal cooks portioned tuna into whole pieces for even cooking and trade.

Filleting lines and frozen packs made whole of tuna available inland.

Restaurants standardised specialty whole portions of tuna for plate timing.
