Is Tuna A Blue Fish? Exploring Tuna Varieties And Their True Colors

Bluefish, scientifically known as Pomatomus saltatrix, belongs to the Pomatomidae family and is the sole surviving species within this family. This marine pelagic fish is widely distributed across temperate and subtropical waters worldwide, with the exception of the northern Pacific Ocean. In various regions, it goes by different names; in Australia and New Zealand, it is referred to as “tailor,” while in South Africa, it is known as “elf” and “shad.” Bluefish are characterized by their distinctive blue coloring and are a notable species in the realm of marine biology.

Is tuna considered a white fish or a red fish? The distinction between “white” fish and “red” fish lies in their color transformation during cooking. White fish maintains its white color both before and after cooking, while fattier fish like salmon and tuna start off with a red hue before cooking. However, their color changes during cooking; tuna turns white, while salmon often remains pink. It’s important to note that salmon’s pink or red coloration doesn’t arise from the same reasons as the natural redness of beef, pork, or lamb. This distinction is crucial to understanding the unique characteristics of these fish.
