Bigeye

Bigeye is caught primarily by long line boats in Hawaiian waters. It usually has a very high fat content due to the fact that it is caught in very deep and cold water (750 -1500 ft). The highest quality fish is in the 50 - 250 lb range and is sold primarily for sashimi. It has a mild flavor that can be cooked a variety of different ways as well. Smaller Big Eye in the 20-50 lb range are becoming popular in many mainland restaurants for grilling.
