Hey all, diving into seafood talk here: ahi tuna, what's in a name, right? I know it's popular, especially in sushi spots, but what else do they call this fish? Heard terms like yellowfin thrown around. Does ahi have other names depending on where you are or what you're cooking?
 
Actually, Ahi tuna is actually the Hawaiian name for yellowfin tuna :) Some places might also call it albacore, but that can be confusing since albacore is a slightly different tuna species 😅
