About Yellowtail
This large game fish (up to 100 pounds) is found off the coast of Southern California and further south into Mexican waters. It is a member of the jack family — related to pompano — with a flavor and texture similar to tuna. Yellowtail is only occasionally available commercially. It may be prepared in any way suitable for tuna.
