A friend of mine has a video.

He his dad and Dad's friend were out fishing tuna. As soon as the tuna got to the boat - still flush hot , and they bled and gutted it.

He was holding the heart in his hand...and if he touched it, it would beat 2 or 3 times, then stop. Touch it again and it would beat a few more times.

it was pretty cool.

I have seen the difference between a bled tuna and a tuna left untouched.....what a difference in the quality.


Which leads me to believe that any table fare should be bled, gutted and packed with a much ice as possible as soon as possible. Of course whenever the law allows.
