Where to Find Ahi-Tuna?
 

Besides the public market in granville island

anyone know where they sell it cheaper

the public market sells it for $27.99 per pound and another vendor in the market sells for $21.99 per pound

but i guess you are paying for the freshness. which is why its so pricey

during the right time of year you can get it straight off the boats at Steveston, thats prob your best bet around.

Another vote for FOB. Get a whole salmon for $20 while you're at it.

Let's say if I get a small Ahi tuna from Steveston ... how do I even start filleting it? I don't suppose there's a Filleting Tunas for Dummies!

That's not Ahi...it's Albacore.

It takes skill, and lots of it to fillet a tuna well. Besides, no one sells whole Ahi tuna to the public. They're way too big.

$20-$30 a pound sounds about right, depending on quality.

i saw some vids on youtube about filleting fish... theres a lot of tuna filleting vids out there.

^^^ Just don't expect to get clean cuts of fish...it takes a lot of experience to do it right. You'll cut your hand a lot too. Haha..

definitely gonna be harder than it looks

gotta pay to eat? i dunno ..
