Frequently Asked Questions About Yellowfin tuna (large plate)
Is yazılı orkinos the same fish as yellowfin tuna?
No. Yazılı orkinos generally refers to little tunny, a different species from yellowfin tuna. The English name on some listings can be misleading, so treat little tunny and yellowfin as distinct fish when buying or following a recipe.
What does little tunny taste like?
Little tunny has a savory, distinctly fishy flavor and firm flesh, rather than the mild taste of many white fish. Its lean texture suits quick grilling or searing; acidic sauces and herbs can balance its stronger flavor.
How do you cook little tunny without drying it out?
Cook little tunny quickly over high heat and take it off as soon as the flesh turns opaque and separates easily. Because it is lean, prolonged grilling or frying can make it dry; a brief marinade adds flavor but cannot prevent overcooking.
Can you eat little tunny raw as sushi?
Little tunny can be served raw only when it has been handled and prepared for raw consumption. Fresh appearance alone does not make fish safe from parasites or bacteria; if its handling history is uncertain, cook it thoroughly.
Does little tunny contain mercury?
Yes, little tunny can contain mercury, with levels varying by fish size and where it was caught. Pregnant people, those breastfeeding, and children should follow current local advice on tuna consumption rather than assume every tuna species has the same level.
How can you tell if little tunny is fresh?
Fresh little tunny should smell mild and clean, not sour or ammonia-like. Its flesh should look moist and firm, not mushy or discolored. Buy it well chilled and cook it promptly after bringing it home.
How long does raw little tunny keep in the fridge?
Keep raw little tunny in the coldest part of the refrigerator and cook it within a day or two. Store cooked leftovers covered and chilled, then eat them within a few days; discard fish left at room temperature for too long.
Can you freeze little tunny?
Yes, little tunny freezes well when wrapped tightly to limit air exposure. Freeze it while fresh, thaw it in the refrigerator, and cook it soon after thawing. Freezing can affect texture, so it may be less firm once cooked.
Is little tunny the same as bonito?
No. Little tunny and bonito are related members of the mackerel family, but they are not interchangeable species. Their names can vary by region, so use the scientific or clearly identified common name when a recipe calls for one specifically.
Should you rinse little tunny before cooking it?
No, rinsing little tunny under the tap can spread bacteria around the sink and nearby surfaces. Remove any visible scales or residue, pat the fish dry with paper towel, and wash your hands and utensils after handling it.

What is Yellowfin tuna (large plate)?
Yazılı orkinos is a tuna species known in English as little tunny; despite the name used on some listings, it is not yellowfin tuna. The “large plate” refers to a generous serving, rather than a particular recipe. Its flesh is firm and full-flavoured, and is often grilled or pan-seared. Across Mediterranean-style cooking, it pairs naturally with lemon, olive oil, salad or grilled vegetables; serve it as a main course with bread or potatoes if you like.
It is a lean, protein-rich fish: per 100 g, it provides 24.4 g of protein and 0.6 g of fat. For a lighter plate, grill or bake it instead of frying, and make vegetables the main accompaniment.
