Aji tuna, also known as horse mackerel or "aji" in Japanese, is a flavorful, nutrient-dense fish commonly featured in Japanese cuisine, especially sushi and sashimi. Known for its tender texture and slightly rich yet clean taste, aji tuna is packed with high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction. It's also a good source of essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium. Low in calories and saturated fat, aji tuna is considered a healthy addition to a balanced diet. However, like many fish, it may contain trace amounts of mercury, so moderation is key, especially for pregnant individuals or those at risk. Whether enjoyed raw, grilled, or lightly marinated, aji tuna offers a delicious and nutritious option for seafood lovers.
