Re: Tuna price
Well, unless he has a commercial license to sell Tuna, I don't think I'd talk about it here, and ask for price advice.

Re: Tuna price
Can usually get it right off the commercial boats in the basin for $2.00/lb whole. Might give you a little price break if you buy a bunch.

Re: Tuna price
Does anyone know the ratio of useable loins to whole fish?
Someone asked me the other day and after thinking about it I said I thought it would be at least half waste, guts, gills, carcass.
Sound right?

I brought home 6 averaging 19lbs each and 1 peanut about 14lbs...after carefully taking my time, I took the carked loins and weighed them on the bathroom scale.
Before carking: 128lbs
After carking and trimming: 55lbs
so just slightly under 50%

Re: Tuna price
Why buy 'em for $2 a pound when you can buy a boat, gear, and fuel and get 'em yourself for only $325 a pound?
