Energy comes from USDA nutrient 1008. Salt is calculated as sodium × 2.5, with unit conversion to grams. It is not a separately measured salt value.
Preparation
109 kcal per 100 g raw with 24.4 g of protein and half a gram of fat — the highest protein figure of any raw fish here, and among the highest of anything on the site. Yellowfin is usually seared briefly or eaten raw, so it rarely loses much water and rarely sits far from this figure. What sits far from it is the sauce: soy, sesame oil and mayonnaise are what a tuna dish is usually made of.
Logging this food
USDA lists this in units built for sashimi: a cubic inch is 16 g and 17 kcal, an ounce boneless 28 g and 31, and a 3 oz portion 85 g and 93. Count pieces or weigh the block. A seared steak will read slightly higher per 100 g than this row, because the outside lost water while the inside did not.
Swaps and alternatives
Canned tuna in water is 86 kcal per 100 g, leaner and cheaper, with 19.4 g of protein against 24.4. Raw cod is 82. Nothing about the swap is nutritional so much as culinary — yellowfin is bought to be eaten rare, and the tin is bought to be eaten cold.
