Rare breed here, non-mil, non-gov, non-local computer programmer in the Florida Keys. Fish stocks are declining so noticeably year after year after year. You will not be able to mark-off coordinates as a fish refuge without local multi-generational fishermen families (with more political clout than you can imagine here in not-quite-Florida) complaining and getting their way. It's quite a lost cause. And I won't purchase farm-raised fish, because I'm well aware of the PCB content of your Tilapia. I wish I knew what to tell you, except that your children won't know anything about Tuna, Ahi, or Hogfish.
You shouldn't be surprised by the confusion. I sometimes suspect it is intentional on the part of restaurants; "ahi" sounds a lot classier than "tuna", because it doesn't make you think of canned tuna.
I understand your point. But when someone starts out their sentence with "I wish I knew what to tell you" you would like to think that they knew that Ahi, AKA yellowfin or bigeye tuna, was two species of tuna.

"your children won't know anything about Tuna, Ahi, or Hogfish"
Ahi ⊆ Tuna : Ahi is a kind of Tuna

EDIT: subspecies -> two species
I hate myself for this, but- correction- Ahi is not a subspecies. It refers to yellowfin OR bigeye.
Don't hate yourself for teaching me something new;) thanks for the clarification. I always thought Ahi was just yellowfin.
