Southern Bluefin Tuna: The Underappreciated Fish Gatsby
Southern bluefin tuna is sitting in the seafood Hollywood casting couch, forever second banana to the Pacific bluefin, which everyone thinks is the tuna royalty — probably because it got all the publicity and maybe a few Oscars.

A tuna tragedy Shakespeare would have feasted on if only he’d lived to see sashimi culture.
