Description
Tuna — Soorai in Tamil, Choora in Malayalam — is a firm, meaty fish with dense, boneless steaks and a rich flavour, a coastal staple that’s as good in a spicy curry as it is seared as a steak.
Loved across communities
A staple in Tamil, Malayali and Sri Lankan homes. Choora is everyday-to-special eating, loved for its meaty boneless steaks and its starring role in the famous Sri Lankan fish cutlet.
Popular dishes
Think a Kerala choora curry with kudampuli, a soorai fry, Sri Lankan tuna cutlets, tuna thoran, and peppered seared steaks.

What does tuna taste like?
Rich and meaty with dense, satisfying flesh — a fish that eats almost like a steak.
Does it have bones?
It cuts into boneless steaks, so it’s very easy to eat and ideal for cutlets and curries.
What’s the best way to cook it?
A tangy Kerala curry or Sri Lankan cutlets are classics; the steaks also sear beautifully, kept pink in the middle.
