Yellowfin......and Big Eye Tuna. Ahi literal translation in Hawaiian is Smoke, which refers to the smoke that was produced when ancient Hawaiian would hook these fish on there hand lines. The fishermen would fish with the hand lines around a dowel, like a modern day drag system. As the line went screaming out the hemp type line would actually produce smoke. Ahi is freely used for both species in Hawaii.
