Description
 
One of the most prized types of sushi in the world is the belly loin of the fatty blue fin tuna, known as toro. Our fresh farmed bluefin tuna sashimi loins are very used to make the highest quality toro found in sushi bars, which melts in your mouth. The farmed blue fin tuna is caught in nets, transported to open water pens and then fed for almost a year in tuna farms in Australia and Mexico. We carry blue fin tuna year round, but sometimes it will be unavailable due to weather and supply conditions. If you plan of searing/cooking tuna, we suggest that you order yellow fin tuna instead of the blue fin tuna. Blue fin has a much higher fat content, which produces a strong fish taste and odor when cooked.
Blue fin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) are found all over the world, usually in deeper waters. They can get as long as 6 feet and weigh 300 pounds but the average weight is 60 to 100 pounds.

Our fresh and live seafood products are as fresh as you can get because we purchase directly from reputable fishermen in California and Baja California who take great pride in providing the highest quality seafood. The seafood is caught and immediately iced or brought to our live tanks until you order. We package it with care, keep it cold in insulated boxes and ship it overnight with FedEx so that it reaches your door fresher than the vast majority of most supermarkets and restaurants.

Highly recommended March 24, 2010
Reviewer: jacqueline Kim from Escondido, CA United States  
I found out about this place because of Jeffrey Steingarten and almost wish to keep Catalina Op as my little secret. But I rave about this supplier to all my friends. The toro is excellent and highly recommended. Even though I have received cuts that include maguro (and charged for it no less), I continue to buy my fish from Catalina OP because of the unsurpassed quality and because they earned enough credits in my opinion. I highly recommend the scallops and uni and hamachi too.

I'm spoiled for now. March 16, 2010
Reviewer: David Karczewski from TRAVERSE CITY, MI United States  
It is extremely rare for any Toro to show up in my area.  I can only rarely find it in a high line sushi bars down state.  This was as high quality loin as I've gotten, any where, very fresh, very buttery.  The loin did have a little waste, as most loins do.  I made tuna tacos out of that.  I now have friend begging to come over when I order again.

Reviewer: Henry Newman from Saint Paul, MN United States  
This is the best chu-toro we have had in MN and as good as any at the best places on the West Coast or East Coast.  Highly recommended.
