Are there grades of tuna?

Asked: Joel Bélanger, Last Updated:

Tuna is much the same and has four grades: #1 (highest), #2+, #2, and #3, and 5 categories that the fish is judged on: initial appearance; size and shape; color; texture; and fat content. Once a fish is landed, it goes right on an ice, ideally a saltwater ice slurry to bring its temp down to just above freezing.
