Yellowtail do belong to the Tuna family but I don't think they can be treated exactly the same.Do remember catching them in SO CA waters proximity to Catalina, La Jolla, etc. Great smoked, steaks grilled, etc. Good eating fish.originally posted by Ruben Ramos:
I love Yellow Tail!A friend of mine is an avid deep sea fisherman. He recently returned from a fishing excursion and gave me some choice cuts of Yellowtail, which I thought was tuna but apparently not. Anyway I'm planning on grilling the yellowtail; should I serve Domaine de la Pepire, Muscadet or a Clos Roche Blanche Sauvignon N˚ 2?

Yellowtail of sushi fame is also known as Japanese Amberjack. It's not in the same family as tuna, but is in the same Order (perciformes). I mostly recall albacore in the waters off Catalina, but I'm sure there are other fish out there, too.

Lou, I think you're thinking of Yellowfin, which is in the tuna family. Yellowtail, is in the jack family.

Brad, are you quoting yourself?
The people running the live bait deep sea fishing boats along the coast mainly in the kelp beads always referred to the yellowtail as part of the tuna family. I'm no expert on fish species. Albacore fishing which I did on many occasions was done much, much, further out, miles from the shore. Yellowtails we caught ran 20 to 40 pounds and really hard work to land on moderate strength tackle.originally posted by MLipton:

By the way all that fishing is now basically exhausted in that part of the world. With the yellowtail in those days came the schools of barracuda. Sadly pretty much all gone. Take a ride to Catalina used to have the flying fish swim along with you. Pretty much all gone. It's a shame.
