Fresh Tuna In The Desert?

By:


Tuna is a fast swimming ocean fish and a favorite seafood of millions of Americans. We often think of shredded tuna being served up in small cans purchased at the local restaurant. But what if you live in the deserts of Arizona and are craving fresh tuna?

Well, there certainly aren't any local watering holes where you can pull seafood from. Freshwater trout might be the closest you'll get. But wait; doesn't the local Scottsdale seafood restaurant advertise fresh tuna in season? Just how can it be "fresh" if you are far from any oceans?

Truth is, multiple industries revolve around getting seafood from the ocean to your desert home (and many other locations around the world) as quickly as possible. In fact, if you are visiting the world-famous Tsjukiji fish market in Tokyo, Japan, consider those 50+ pound tuna lying on the floor.

Grabbing some seafood from that market and cooking it up right away is likely to be the freshest seafood you'll ever have short of catching it yourself. Now, if you were to leave right then and book a flight for your home in Scottsdale, Arizona, some of that tuna you were looking at is likely to make it to the states before you do.

Buyers for American seafood distributors are in Tokyo every morning, bidding on and buying seafood. Once purchased, seafood is put on a plane and flown immediately to America. Your local restaurant places its order in the morning, and has it delivered that same day.

By the time you get home, the fish is ready for cooking just for you!

Why the Big Rush?

The key, when it comes to great tasting seafood, is speed. The longer a fish is dead before consumption, the more its taste changes. This is the main reason why there is such a rush and extraordinary attempt to keep them all alive for as long as possible.

This is why you'll often hear people say that seafood tastes so much better on the coast than inland. It's because it really does! Seafood on the coast has typically only been out of the ocean for a few hours, perhaps even minutes. But that doesn't mean that every effort isn't made to make fish headed inland taste just as good.

So the next time you flinch at the cost of tuna from your local restaurant, consider all that it has gone through to make it taste like it was just caught especially for you.
