Clean, structured, and intensely refined, 14-Day Dry-Aged Yellowfin Tuna elevates classic Ahi into a chef-level experience. Naturally leaner than bluefin, yellowfin responds beautifully to controlled dry-aging - gaining depth, firmer texture, and a clearer umami profile without losing its signature brightness.
Our store is one of only five places in the United States that professionally dry-age fish, maintaining exacting control over temperature, humidity, and airflow. Over 14 days, gentle moisture reduction and enzymatic refinement concentrate flavor and improve slice integrity, resulting in yellowfin that is more expressive, precise, and elegant than its fresh counterpart.
