Hawiian Bigeye Ahi Toro    

 

Honolulu Fish Company Hawaiian Bigeye Ahi Toro

Walu has a rich, buttery flavor that is luscious cooked and a delicacy raw.  This exotic sashimi-grade fish is also known as "white tuna" because of its rich oil content and tuna-like texture. Density and high moisture retention make this a versatile fish to prepare and a valuable commodity raw. Its paper white color marks up especially well on the grill.
