And we're briefly back! I decided back in February that I want to finish all of the Fishuary prompts in my own time, whenever I get the chance. Now I got that chance! Here is a yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), a native of the Indian Ocean.
@fish-daily You still want to see the rest of the Fishuary drawings right?
Yellowfin tuna often travel in schools with similarly sized companions. They sometimes school with other tuna species and mixed schools of small yellowfin, and skipjack tuna, in particular, are commonplace. They are often associated with various species of dolphins or porpoises, as well as with larger marine creatures such as whales and whale sharks.
If you were curious about the penguin in my last post...
Fisk is a yellow-eyed penguin with a yellow-fin tuna tail.
It's my newest fursona. It's kind of cranky, but talented nonetheless.
I made a fursona: yellowfin tuna dragon! I really love the sea so I wanted a sea-based fursona, I am very happy! Its name is Twnô. Me and my partner worked together on it! (Yulyeong the snow leopard belongs to her, @/mittrei on Instagram)
Cream of Asparagus Soup, Artisanal Cheese Platter (shared), Pan-Seared Gulf Yellowfin Tuna, Brown Sugar Cake w/Buttercream Icing. The Bottle Restaurant. Huntsville, Alabama. 1.10.2024.
NOTE TO SELF: The Downtown Huntsville food scene continues to impress. The soup was good, though the server described it as like a broccoli and cheese, which was no accurate. The dominant flavor was lime, there was no cheese. The cheese platter was fine, but I wouldn't order it again. The tuna was stupid good. I don't know what spices were on it, but it was salty and peppery and exhilarating in every bite. Everything on the plate worked so well together -- spicy kimchi, sweet seaweed, earthy beans and grains, and chewy tuna. I know it's early in the year, but this is likely a top 10 meal. Not picture, I also got the brown sugar cake, but it was too sweet to really elevate the meal for me. Can't wait to come back to this place and try more things.
