Tombo Ahi
Hawaiian Tombo is like no other albacore tuna in the world. Albacore from Hawaii grow to a much larger size than any other location in the world. Often reaching sizes of 70 lbs and more. These large albacore also have bright red sashimi meat and is a great for substitutes for many raw ahi applications. Clear and translucent in appearance, bright red albacore looks more like candy when served raw.
