    Dear List,

    >From a food science and a buyers point of view can anyone offer any
    assistance in defining "quality" in frozen onboard tuna. What are the quality
    characteristics of shelf life and flesh texture? Specifically Pacific
    Alabacore Tuna.

    When I look into the eyes or look at the skin of a blast or brine frozen tuna
    at dockside unloading, what am I looking for? Does it make a difference if it
    is blast or brine frozen?

    Would appreciate any information for all sources. Especially buyers. Thanks
    in advance for your input.

    Regards,
