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.

What a beautiful piece of fish. April 10, 2008
Reviewer: Michael from New York, NY United States  
I was very excited to get home and open the package to see a beautiful hunk of fish.  As mentioned in the previous review there is a small section of maguro tuna.  The fish was buttery and delicious with a very slight lemony hint.  It was melt in the mouth delicious.  The service and people as always are an A++, extremely customer oriented.  I would recommend you try this fish.

Excellent Quality March 27, 2008
Reviewer: George Ledvina from Durango, CO United States  
I have browsed your web site several times over a year or more, and ordered for the first time just the other day. Everything arrived in excellent condition. I'm delighted with the quality of it all! The scallops (Hototegai) are as good as any I've had at any sushi bar and definitely better than any I can procure locally. They made a wonderful Tiradito. The Uni was of good sashimi quality and we ate half of the Uni the night it arrived. The Chutoro is exquisite, being a cut that includes a nice piece of belly meat and loin. Well done! Thank you. I'll be ordering again soon.

"Wow" on quality, shipping and customer service January 16, 2008
Reviewer: Mark Reynolds from Austin, TX United States  
Fresher than my sushi bars.  Better value than my fishmongers.  More selection than anywhere I've visited.

California wildfires didn't stop Catalina from delivering a perfect order.  Even with a shipper delay, the frozen items arrived arrived solid and the fresh fish was perfectly chilled, due to their expert packing.  Whenever there is a question or an issue, I receive a personal call.  Highly recommended.

For an Italian flair, give Crudo a try:  http://markpreynolds.com/?content=crudo.html
