I can tell you that bluefin tuna is only available directly from Massachusetts fishermen for a brief time and we are told it is sustainable. That said, in the interest of eGullet I will ask both of the purveyors of the bluefin that I have access to about the issue. One is at my farmer's market (Red's Best) and the other is on Cape Cod (Mac's Seafood). I am not sure how much information I will get from Red's but I know Mac's will be forthcoming. I will see Red's on Tuesday and Mac's the first week of October. After I talk to both of them I will start a new topic (unless one already exists, I'll look) where we can debate the merits of eating various controversial foodstuffs
That will be interesting to hear what both of them say. Thanks! Oh, and I agree this belongs in a new thread.
