You must have lived in Florida at some point. For some reason Little Tunny are "bonito" there.

Atlantic Bonito (sarda sarda) has very white meat and is fairly mild.



Little Tunny, aka "bonito" in Florida, aka bloody mackeral, aka false albacore in New England (Euthynnus alletteratus) are challenging to prepare, at best.



I'm a big fan of Atlantic Bonito as table fare. I release them all. On the grill...
